Noni Madueke faced criticism for sharing a laugh with Jack Grealish while Thiago Silva was visibly upset following Chelsea’s loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.
Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities, Mauricio Pochettino’s team couldn’t capitalize, resulting in a 1-0 defeat at Wembley courtesy of Bernardo Silva’s 84th-minute strike, setting up a final against either Manchester United or Coventry City next month.
The defeat dealt a blow to Thiago Silva’s hopes of concluding his potentially final season at Chelsea with silverware.
After the match, Thiago Silva was seen emotional, being comforted by Conor Gallagher as he wiped away tears with his shirt.
However, Chelsea fans expressed frustration upon noticing Madueke apparently sharing a laugh with Grealish behind Silva.
Madueke had previously faced backlash from Chelsea supporters for his attempts to take penalties away from Cole Palmer.
The winger’s reaction after the FA Cup semi-final loss further angered Chelsea fans, with one expressing disbelief at Madueke laughing while Silva was visibly upset, considering the disappointing result and the fans’ support.
Another Chelsea supporter criticized Madueke’s behavior, contrasting it with his passionate display in a previous game, highlighting the inconsistency in his attitude.
