Todd Boehly had nothing to smile about on Tuesday night as he buried his hands in his pocket, wore a look of resignation and headed to Chelsea's dressing room to speak to players after their Champions League exit.
Chelsea suffered another 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid to bow out 4-0 at the quarter-final stage.
Boehly, who labelled his expensively assembled squad 'embarrassing' after a 2-1 loss to Brighton in the Premier League last week, once again headed for the confines of the dressing room, but this time appearing totally deflated.
The American was pictured with co-owner Behdad Eghbali walking across the pitch at the end, before going in to see Frank Lampard and his players.
'I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking. It's very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people,' club legend Didier Drogba said afterwards. 'They should go back to the principles and values they had.'
Their exit from the Champions League means Chelsea's season is officially over, with no competition left to play for.
They are 11th in the Premier League and suffered third-round exits in both domestic cups, prior to being eliminated from the Champions League.
Boehly has been eager to splash the cash and has delivered £600million investment in the playing squad, only to go backwards.
He elected to axe boss Thomas Tuchel, who had previously delivered Chelsea a Champions League title, for Graham Potter, who has himself since been binned with Lampard now holding fort until the end of the season.
More to follow.

Get a new coach now who will work with the players till end of the season so that he can assess the players very well to know which players will stay and those who will leave as well as to players that will be added to the squad. Lampard is not a good coach, his selection yesterday speak volumes of him.

Next game, I see Boehly plays himself as a striker to get Chelsea some goals because this arrogant man thinks he can do everything alone.

He needs to understand that you can't bully players into performing, Performing will come with trust, Relaxing Atmosphere, Only what you can demand from your players is commitment.
