Garnacho lost his starting spot after a strange statement about Atalanta.

Garnacho on the bench

Alejandro Garnacho remained on the bench during the Champions League match between Chelsea and Atalanta after an ambiguous interview with the press. The 21-year-old forward disappointed Italian fans by admitting that he hadn't watched an Atalanta game in over a year.

'The last time I saw Atalanta was two years ago,' he explained.

This comment sparked a wave of outrage, which in turn led to his removal from the starting lineup for this important match. It is worth noting that such statements can significantly impact a player's career, especially when it comes to serious tournaments like the Champions League. Garnacho will need to draw conclusions and work on his attitude towards the game to regain the trust of both coaches and fans.
