If Chelsea were in need of an electric atmosphere to help them overturn a 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid, then their own tannoy system let them down.
As is customary in Europe's biggest club competition, both sets of players lined up for the Champions League anthem. The problem is, the music failed to materialise.
It made the pre-match formalities all the more awkward, as the camera panned across both sets of players. And respective captains Thiago Silva and Karim Benzema still sought to lead a round of applause, just without the usual cue to do so.
