Chilwell apologies to Chelsea fans

Chelsea player Ben Chilwell wasn't happy with, but accepted the straight red card he received in the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.

The English defender was sent off for pulling down Rodrygo when he was through in on goal one-on-one against goalkeeper Kepa.

"Slept on it, and just want to apologise to my team mates and the fans. I made a decision in a split second last night and it was a mistake. I always give everything for the team and i will continue to do so. Thank you for the support", read the post online.

The Englishman's sending off was in the second half, when the Blues were 1-0 down, meaning Chelsea had to plau with a man less for half an hour, and they ended up losing 2-0 meaning that they'll have their work cut out next Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
