Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has slammed one doomer journalist after their Champions League win at Lille.
Due to EU Sanctions against Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, the Blues won't be able to have fans in attendance for the next round.
The journalist said: "Congratulations, into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but those quarter-finals, the home leg, will have to be played behind closed doors because of a UEFA ruling tonight. You, Chelsea, can't sell tickets because of the EU sanctions."
Tuchel, who had been looking around for confirmation, replied: "Thanks for ruining my evening."
The journalist continued: "At the moment, unless you get a new owner, that's the case, how much of a setback is that?"
However, Chelsea's press officer deflected the question - preferring to speak about the win against Lille.
Tuchel added: "Gary, I was in such a good mood, can we talk about it when it's confirmed? It is confirmed? Well, let's wait for the confirmation of the confirmation."
