Veteran defender Thiago Silva, set to leave west Londoners at the end of the season, was seen in emotional distress after being knocked out. The 39-year-old Brazilian appeared inconsolable, while 22-year-old winger Madueke was caught laughing in the background.
Despite Silva’s demeanor, Blues star shared a joke with opponent Jack Grealish while on the pitch, leading some to call for him to be sold. One user expressed their frustration, stating, “Do you think Madueke should be sold by Chelsea?
They just don’t get it. They don’t care.”
Another commented, “No standard, No spine. Pathetic kids.
Disgusting behavior.” Additionally, a user wrote, “Thiago Silva crying and Noni Madueke laughing and joking around behind him.
And people genuinely question what’s wrong with this Chelsea squad.” Another incident involving Madueke was mentioned, as the winger, along with Nicolas Jackson, got into an argument with Cole Palmer over who should take a penalty.
This behavior was deemed problematic. The incident ended up overshadowing Chelsea’s otherwise wholly positive evening.
