Thomas Tuchel has slammed the Chelsea fans who chanted Roman Abramovich’s name during a minute’s applause for war-torn Ukraine before Saturday’s 4-0 win against Burnley.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Premier League clubs held a pre-match moment of solidarity with the country before every game this weekend and the majority of fans joined the applause at Turf Moor.
However, a section of the travelling Chelsea support interrupted the applause to sing the name of the club’s Russian owner.
Hmmm! Everyone has a right to stand in solidarity with anyone... But the fans should understand that we are in difficult times.
