Chelsea’s employees and players were left with only one task: to walk alone to collect their winners’ medals. However, amidst this moment of celebration, onlookers observed an intriguing encounter between owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
As the ceremony unfolded, manager Mauricio Pochettino appeared to overlook Eghbali, opting instead to extend a comforting handshake directly to Boehly. While this gesture may have been unintentional, it has sparked some controversy among fans who interpreted it as a slight. However, it’s evident that Pochettino’s priority was simply to exit the platform, mirroring the sentiments of everyone present.
