Piers Morgan blasts "embarrassing" Thomas Tuchel after moan about referee's behaviour
Chelsea of bottling their Champions League clash against Real Madrid and branded Thomas Tuchel "embarrassing" over comments the Blues boss made about the referee after the match.Chelsea were agonisingly dumped out of Europe in spite of a 3-2 victory at the Bernabeu last night as Madrid battled back from 3-0 down to dramatically secure passage into the semi-finals.Blues fans had every reason to be upset after Marcos Alonso's second-half stunner was cruelly ruled out by VAR, while Casemiro's reckless challenge on Kai Havertz in the box was waved away by referee Szymon Marciniak - who was spotted laughing with Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti at full-time.During his post-match press conference, Tuchel said he was "disappointed" with Marciniak's actions, insisting that it was the "wrong time" for him to be fraternising with one of the coaches."When I wanted to go and say thank you for the match I see him laughing and smiling and laughing loud with the opponent … I think this is very very bad timing," said the Chelsea boss.Morgan - an avid Arsenal fan - didn't see it that way and offered up another explanation for the referee's antics. "They were probably laughing at how badly Chelsea choked after having the game in the bag … embarrassing by Tuchel," he tweeted.Chelsea weren't given much hope of progressing after being beaten 3-1 at Stamford Bridge last week, but they managed to take control of the tie in the early stages following Mason Mount's opener.
