From the source
Chelsea have suffered an embarrassing European exit after losing to Estonian side Flora Tallinn in the UEFA Youth League. Last season’s Under-18 Premier League champions were expected to progress comfortably, but they were dealt a shock 3-2 defeat at Cobham on Wednesday afternoon.
Chelsea twice took the lead through Mathis Eboue and Ibrahim Rabbaj, only for Flora to fight back and secure a famous victory. According to The Sun, Xabi Alonso, Cole Palmer and John Terry all watched as Chelsea’s European campaign came to an end.
Chelsea’s defeat was even more concerning because several players have already had opportunities to impress at senior level. Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli and Reggie Watson both started against Flora after making their first-team debuts earlier this season.
