Noni Madueke sends four words to Ben Chilwell after his red card vs Real Madrid
Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has told Ben Chilwell that last night’s red card against Real Madrid was not his fault.
The winger took to Instagram to responded to the left-back’s Instagram post where he apologised for his ‘mistake’ in getting sent off during the Champions League quarter-final.
Chilwell will now not be available for the second leg when the Spanish side come to Stamford Bridge, a game which will hold all of the club’s hopes for the remainder of the season.
With the score at 1-0, the England international was forced to make a decision as Rodrygo found himself clean through on goal in the second half.
This has been seen by some as the fault of Marc Cucurella, who had recently replaced an injured Kalidou Koulibaly at the back.
Madueke responds to Chilwell
The Spaniard was slow to get up to speed, seeing the ball through to Rodrygo fly over his head without really reacting.
While Chilwell arguably didn’t have to make the decision to see his side fall to 10 men, it appears not everyone believes that the blame lies at his door.
Madueke commented: “Not your fault bro” on the defender’s Instagram post.
The former PSV man is not available for Champions League games after only three January signings were allowed to be registered for the European squad.
Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix were the players elected to be chosen, at the expense of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The decision has left interim boss Frank Lampard frustrated that he cannot utilise the recognised goalscorer in important moments in this tie. With the scoring record not going under the radar at Stamford Bridge at the minute, taking arguably the most natural finisher away will leave any manager frustrated.
