Chelsea supporters have claimed that there is 'no excuse' to not replace Marc Cucurella with Ian Maatsen next season following the Spaniard's costly mistake against Real Madrid. Despite the Blues' best efforts, Carlo Ancelotti's side finally broke the deadlock at Stamford Bridge just moments before the hour-mark.
Initially, Trevoh Chalobah looked to be at fault for the opener after he misjudged a tackle on Rodrygo. The Brazil international skipped past the flailing defender, found Vincius Junior unmarked at the back post before receiving a return pass and smashing the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
However, in the build-up, Cucurella was spotted quite considerably out of position, leaving Chalobah vulnerable at the back. The left-back was seen leading a solo high-press on Eder Militao – and, once Chelsea supporters realised he was at fault, large sections of the fanbase demanded that he is offloaded in the summer and replaced by Maatsen.
