Fans React to Chelsea's Loss to Manchester City

Chelsea's Premier League season commenced with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on August 18. The match saw former Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic score a late goal, sealing the victory for the reigning champions. The defeat was particularly notable for Chelsea's co-owner Todd Boehly, who was seen leaving his seat shortly after Kovacic's goal, prompting a wave of reactions from fans on social media. Many fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Boehly's early exit, suggesting he was rushing to sign more players for Chelsea's already extensive squad. One user humorously remarked that Boehly "really left early to go sign another 20 players," while others speculated he was contacting transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The lighthearted jabs continued, with fans joking about Boehly's potential signings, including high-profile names and even legendary players. Despite Chelsea showing some promise under new manager Enzo Maresca, the team struggled to capitalize on their opportunities against a City side that played without key players Rodri and Phil Foden. The match highlighted ongoing concerns about Chelsea's performance and strategy, with fans expressing frustration over the club's direction and Boehly's management decisions. As the season unfolds, the pressure will be on Chelsea to improve and address the criticisms from their supporters.
