Frank Lampard has been ridiculed for playing Mykhaylo Mudryk at left-back as Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League at home to a ruthless Real Madrid.
The Blues lost 4-0 aggregate, with Tuesday's 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge confirming the end of their European campaign this season. Real Madrid winger Rodrygo got both goals as Carlo Ancelotti 's side took control in the second half, with Chelsea enjoying a positive first 45 minutes but failing to convert a series of chances.
When Rodrygo put Los Blancos 1-0 up on the night, Lampard turned to the bench and summoned £88.5million signing Mudryk in the hope that he'd change the game. The Ukrainian wonderkid was likely expecting to join the Blues' faltering attack but instead got brought on for wing-back Marc Cucurella as Chelsea reverted four-man defence.
