Carlo Ancelotti has provided his verdict on Real Madrid president Florentino Perez coming to the dressing room after Chelsea's Todd Boehly spoke to the squad following defeat to Brighton. On Saturday, the Blues co-owner was spotted trudging across the pitch, alongside Behdad Eghbali and Hansjorg Wyss, heading for the tunnel and subsequently the home changing room.
Some of the details over exactly what happened in the Stamford Bridge bowels came to light on Monday as the Telegraph revealed Boehly delivered a pre-Real Madrid rallying call. With three consecutive defeats coming in the last 10 days, Boehly was also critical of the squad labelling their season as "embarrassing".
With press conferences for Frank Lampard and Kepa Arrizabalaga coming just a few hours after the report, Boehly was a firm topic of discussion. "Todd came to the changing rooms, every game, he had different chat with us," Kepa said when asked about what Boehly did over the weekend. "I'm not going to say what he said but it's normal when he came to the changing room."
