Azpilicueta Apologises To Chelsea Fans For Man City Humiliation

By Joshua Walters

Cesar Azpilicueta has apologised to Chelsea supporters for the team's 6-0 humiliation to Manchester City on Sunday.

The Chelsea captain tells the club's website he has been left devastated by the defeat which he describes as unimaginable, disappointing and a show of poor performance on the part of the players.

Maurizio Sarri's Blues were handed their worst Premier League defeat ever at the Etihad Stadium courtesy a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero, two from Raheem Sterling and one from Ilkay Gundogan. 

Azpilicueta is still yet to recover from the shock hours after the defeat which he says marked one of the worst nights of his career.

“It’s difficult to find the words to describe my feeling after the game," says right-back on Monday.

“It is one of the worst nights in my career. It’s very frustrating, it’s very disappointing. We have lost big games in the first minutes and we are conceding a lot of goals. We cannot accept that.”

“When you lose 6-0 everyone has to accept they didn’t play well, we made errors that in big games like this you cannot make. We knew we had one of the best teams in front of us, and we knew it would be tough.”

“When we won against them at Stamford Bridge it was because we played a very good game all together. This time It was not the case.”

“To lose in this way is very disappointing. The only thing I can say to the fans is sorry because it’s not acceptable, and I feel sorry for all of them."
