Frank Leboeuf has labelled Liam Rosenior's decision to pass a note to Alejandro Garnacho as 'insane' during the final minutes of their Champions League defeat by PSG

Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has labelled Liam Rosenior's decision to pass a note to Alejandro Garnacho as 'insane' during the final minutes of their Champions League defeat by PSG.

In a match where the aggregate scoreline stood at 8-2 in PSG's favour by the 84th minute, with the tie decisively beyond reach, Rosenior was observed handing a written note containing specific instructions to Garnacho as he prepared to enter the field. This occurred amid a brief pause in play while defender Trevoh Chalobah received treatment.


Leboeuf, a Chelsea legend who won multiple honours with the Club between 1996 and 2001, including the Premier League title and FA Cup, described the action as "insane" and "completely useless" in post-match analysis on ESPN FC. He suggested the note held little practical value at that stage of the game and questioned the intent behind it, stating: "Maybe he lost his mind, that was insane... We know it’s completely useless."

The Club respects the right of former players and pundits to offer their opinions on events during matches. Liam Rosenior's approach to preparation and in-game management, including the use of detailed written instructions for substitutes, reflects his commitment to clarity and structure even in challenging circumstances.


Chelsea remains united behind the head coach and the squad as we shift focus to upcoming Premier League obligations and the continued development of the team under Rosenior's leadership.


The Club will not be providing further comment on individual punditry at this time and thanks supporters for their ongoing backing.
