Christensen’s awkward pizza footage in Wembley tunnel sums up Chelsea mood
Chelsea star Andreas Christensen’s awkward footage with a pizza in the Wembley tunnel sums up the mood at the club after their FA Cup loss.
The Blues suffered a 1-0 defeat to Leicester in the finale of the domestic tournament, falling at the last hurdle for two consecutive years.
While the Foxes enjoyed wild celebrations at winning the trophy for the first time, it marked consecutive losses for the London side for the first time under Thomas Tuchel.
And footage has emerged of Christensen, who was not selected for the match day squad, summing up the feeling of the Chelsea squad in the tunnel.
In the clip, the Stamford Bridge side have already made their way back to the dressing room as Leicester continue the party.
The Dane is standing in the tunnel – and the centre-back is holding a pizza with a glum look on his face.
While Chelsea have an opportunity to lift the Champions League final coming up and two more Premier League games, it marked a frustrating day at Wembley.
After a strong first-half with no goals, a Youri Tielemans wonder-strike flew past Kepa Arrizabalaga just after the hour.
Mason Mount’s shot sparked a sensational save from Kasper Schmeichel before Wes Morgan bundled into his own net – only to be ruled out by VAR.
But Tuchel was left frustrated with an incident in the build-up to Tielemans’ goal where the ball hit Ayoze Perez’s hand but was not assessed by the technology.
The German said: “The players said straight away it was a handball.

"So now for the second game in a row there was a handball against us, and VAR is not interfering. Against Arsenal there was one on the line, and again today, and they are very decisive.
"I'm not an expert in handball any more, I don't know when it's handball or not.
"I don't know any more when they need to punish it or it's OK to play with the hand.
"We were unlucky today. But there's never any guarantee you'll end up with a trophy."
