Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough (1-0) on Tuesday evening in the semi-final first leg of the English League Cup, and Thiago Silva went to apologize to furious Blues supporters after the match.
After finishing well last year with two Premier League wins (to move up to 10th in the standings), Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday evening.
The Riverside Stadium capsized before half-time with a goal from Hayden Hackney (37th). Boro had not scored against Chelsea for 18 years and a goal from Mark Viduka! Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues, without Christopher Nkunku, then stumbled on the defense of the 12th in the Championship…
Thiago Silva, not at fault on the opponent’s goal (unlike his partners Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill), then went to see some furious Blues supporters in the visitors’ park. A strong initiative from the Brazilian veteran.
Chelsea will have to reverse the situation on January 23 at Stamford Bridge to go to Wembley in the final of this League Cup against the winner of Fulham-Liverpool.
