Andreas Christensen Chelsea exit in jeopardy as potential suitor gets cold feet

The recent performance of Andreas Christensen versus Real Madrid could cost him a summer move to Barcelona, according to a report.

Christensen started Chelsea’s Champions League quarter-final clash against Real on Wednesday. However, he failed to contain the likes of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior – resulting in a half-time substitution.

The Blues lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Benzema getting a hat-trick for the Spanish giants.

Thomas Tuchel’s side will have to be at their best to get something in the second leg and reach the last four.

Sport Witness analyse Christensen’s recent performance, while citing Spanish outlet AS.

They claim the Denmark international was ‘overwhelmed’ by Vinicius throughout the match. The attacker hit the bar early on and then set up Benzema for Real’s opener.

The 25-year-old is generally good on the ball but failed to show his best qualities on Wednesday. Xavi wasn’t impressed by this as he wants to land a top-class ball-playing defender.
