Real Madrid defeat spells the end of Chelsea's season - so what now?

By The Athletic

Not to be, listener... Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Chelsea experts Dom Fifield and Liam Twomey alongside him as the Blues crash out of the Champions League courtesy of a 4-0 aggregate defeat by Real Madrid. We give our thoughts on the tie, the shortcomings of Frank Lampard's side and where it went wrong over the two legs. Attention then turns to what this means for the remainder of the season with seven Premier League games still to play, what Frank Lampard will do next, and how they should approach the final six weeks or so in terms of personnel and playing time... In FAR more positive news Chelsea Women have a UWCL semi-final to look forward too!! Charlotte Harpur drops in to tease ahead to Saturday's first leg with the formidable Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. We finish up with the furore around the owners dressing room visits - and club legend Didier Drogba's comments that 'It is not the same club any more'. A merciful weekend off from Chelsea after four straight defeats for the first time since 1993 - we'll be back next Thursday after they welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge... what could possibly go wrong!
