Chelsea fans share clip of boss appearing to snub ex-Blues keeper Courtois

Thomas Tuchel endeared himself to Chelsea fans on Tuesday night after appearing to snub Thibaut Courtois' attempt at a post-match handshake.

The Blues travelled to Madrid for their Champions League semi-final, coming away with an impressive 1-1 draw to leave them in a strong position going into next week's return leg at Stamford Bridge.

But it wasn't just the on-field performance that left Chelsea fans praising Tuchel - with his post-match actions also receiving attention.

As the players walked off the pitch, Tuchel came on to shake hands and congratulate his players, but in the process appeared to ignore the outstretched arm of ex-Chelsea keeper Courtois.

While the Belgian goalkeeper holds out a hand to Tuchel, the manager instead lets it brush off him as he heads straight to Antonio Rudiger and his own players.

Courtois isn't held in high esteem by Blues fans these days, after he refused to return to training in the summer of 2018 in a bid to force through a move to Real Madrid.

It is unclear whether the snub was deliberate on Tuchel's part, but fans certainly enjoyed the clip as it went viral on Twitter.

It is not the first time Tuchel has raised eyebrows with his post-match antics, with the German manager also having a spat with Porto in the quarter-finals.

According to the Portuguese publication Record, Tuchel told Porto boss Sergio Conceicao to 'f*** off', sparking ugly scenes at full-time.

In the aftermath, the claims were strenuously denied by the Blues and branded 'complete nonsense', while Tuchel attempted to downplay the situation when he was asked about it after the game.

'It was just a little argument with me and their coach, and everybody was following me suddenly,' he said. 'No harm done.'
