Chelsea fans outraged by music after goals at Stamford Bridge: what’s the reason.

According to The Sun: Chelsea fans expressed their outrage over the decision to implement music to celebrate goals during matches at Stamford Bridge.

This initiative has been criticized as 'horrible', especially following an incident during the match against Benfica, where Chelsea won 1-0.

The only goal in the match was the result of an own goal by Richard Rios after a cross from newly signed player Alejandro Garnacho.

After this, fans expressed their dissatisfaction as the song 'Chelsea Dagger' by The Fratellis was played in the stadium.

While many football clubs in Europe try to create an atmosphere with similar music, Chelsea fans feel that it 'doesn't work.' One fan noted that after the music, he felt an 'irrational anger.'

Another fan emphasized: 'This is not who we are. None of us want the celebration to be accompanied by Chelsea Dagger!'

A third added: 'Playing music after a goal is a terrible idea. Chelsea needs to stop this.'

Some believe that music is distracting and 'kills the atmosphere and disrupts the natural reaction of fans.'

Chelsea player ratings in the match against Benfica

Chelsea secured an important victory over Benfica, halting José Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge.

Moisés Caicedo once again shone in midfield, showcasing a high level of play.

But who stood out in this match when Chelsea broke a one-win streak in five matches?

The Sun rated Chelsea players for their performance that evening.

The team has long used the song 'Chelsea Dagger' at the start and end of matches, but this new step under club president Todd Boehly has not pleased the fans.

This year, fans protested against the American owner due to his management approach towards the club, having spent over £1 billion on new players since his arrival in 2022.

His management has led to the team's victory in the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup, yet fans remain unhappy about rising ticket prices.

Fans accused the club of 'exploiting loyalty' and criticized Boehly's role in the ticket resale platform Vivid Seats.

The win over Benfica came amid a tough stretch of one win in five matches, creating additional pressure on coach Enzo Maresca.

This match also marked the third red card for a Chelsea player in four games as João Pedro was sent off at the end of the match. The Italian warned that the team needs to address this issue.

He noted: 'Unfortunately, this is yet another red card that we need to avoid. Sánchez didn't receive it for a bad action; he just wanted to protect the goal. Chalobah received a red for the same thing.'

'In the evening, I consider that for the second yellow card João didn't even touch another player, but the dynamics of the situation are dangerous.'

'So for me personally, there are no worries or problems. It's just that perhaps we need to approach things differently to avoid this.'
