John Obi Mikel makes feelings clear on Graham Potter with brutal act after Chelsea sacking

The 47-year-old was dismissed earlier this month after the Blues' 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa, having won just 12 of his 30 matches in charge. Chelsea sat in 10th when his departure was announced and with very little chance of finishing inside the top-four this season.

However, Potter did guide the Blues into the Champions League quarter-finals. They secured a 2-1 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund in the last-16 and face Real Madrid in the last-eight first-leg on Wednesday.
