‘Clueless’ Todd Boehly’s prediction for Real Madrid vs Chelsea embarrasses fans
Todd Boehly isn't doing the best of jobs fighting the 'I have no idea what I'm doing' tag … case in point: his prediction for Chelsea's clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Ahead of the match, the American billionaire was intercepted by reporters who asked for his thoughts on the Champions League tie.
"Chelsea's going to win," he replied, and when asked what he thought the score might be, he said: "3-0 … have a lot of faith, we're going to win 3-0 tonight."

Blues supporters on social media found the prediction "embarrassing" while rivals thought it was hilarious, with many suggesting it summed up the lack of know-how at the top of Chelsea's hierarchy.
"Yep, he ain’t got a clue about football he said 3-0 im howling," one fan tweeted. Another said: "This is gonna age so badly," while a third wrote: "Sums Chelsea's problems up, the owner doesn't have any idea what he's doing."
Another joked: "Boehly just dropped a new meme for football fans hahaha." But a Chelsea supporter fumed: "Todd Boehly ruin our club that man can’t seem to shut up always bring bad vibes when we got critical games to play."
Does Todd Boehly have any idea what he's doing? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
Boehly was then asked to comment on his reign at Chelsea so far, which has seen three managers come and go, over £500m spent on new players.
"We look at this as a very long-term process, we have a lot of work to do and we're excited about the future," he insisted.
Boehly's ambitious prediction for the Real Madrid clash looks funny in hindsight, with Chelsea being beaten 2-0 on the night thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio, but then again, anyone who took it for a genuine prediction rather than the semi-serious, blindly-optimistic punt almost all fans take themselves needs their head examined.
