"I'm flabbergasted. I can't believe what I just watched. This is Chelsea Football Club. They've got international players, a World Cup winner and they've got good players all over the pitch. This is not a bottom four or bottom five team. It's unbelievable and I'm lost for words. I cannot believe what has happened. They've just gone out with an absolute whimper in the semi-final of a big competition. If it worked, it was great,"
"but it hasn't worked and you can't gamble like that. Have a go, and go out in a blaze of glory - don't go out like that."
Liam Rosenior defended Chelsea's cautious approach against Arsenal and described being a pundit as "easy" after dismissing criticism. Chelsea contained possession and largely sat deep until the final 15 minutes, when they pressed for an equaliser but failed to score. Arsenal secured a late winner through former Chelsea forward Kai Havertz to prevail 1-0 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate. The second leg was physical with limited penalty-box action, favouring the home side. Chelsea registered two shots on target, one seriously testing goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Paul Merson called the display 'flabbergasting' and accused Chelsea of playing in second gear.
