Havertz quickly DELETES snap of his Batman tattoo after ribbing from Blues pals

Kai Havertz showed-off a new Champions League-inspired tattoo on Friday, only to deleted the post showcasing it following digs from Chelsea team-mates.

The German has become the Blues' man for the big occasion under Thomas Tuchel, scoring the only goal in last season's Champions League final and finishing the Club World Cup-clinching penalty.

He also struck in Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Lille in Europe on Tuesday and with a new Batman movie set for release next week, Havertz was inspired.

The forward had an image of Batman with a Champions League ball under his arm inked on his bicep, and his team-mates were in hysterics.

Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta commented, with a facepalm emoji: 'Hope this is a sticker from the chips and will be removed after the shower.'

Antonio Rudiger simply left a row of crying-with-laughter emojis.

A short while later the post had vanished from the German's account. If it's the tattoo he's already regretting, the solution is a little more painful than deleting a Tweet.

Thomas Tuchel won't care about Havertz's taste in body art, so long as he keeps up his strong form.

Havertz has found it tricky to adapt to life in England since he was signed by Frank Lampard in 2020, but Tuchel is seeing signs of improvement.

'If we isolate the goal-scoring we can say we expect more but in terms of consistency in terms of what he is giving to the team I think he has stepped up already,' the Chelsea manager said.

'We can see a lot of intensity in his game, a lot of physicality. He relies more on his strength, he is more focused on this which is a good thing, I think he is in the process of being more reliable and being more consistent.

'Of course he is an offensive player and he has the ability to score goals, so in this part of the game he can improve.

'There are aspects of his game where there is room to develop because he is young but he has stepped up twice in crucial matches, in crucial moments.'
