'As if by magic!': Italian press mock up Chelsea boss Graham Potter as his wizarding namesake in bizarre photoshop ahead of Blues' Champions League clash with AC Milan

A leading newspaper in Italy mocked up Chelsea manager Graham Potter as his wizarding namesake ahead of the Blues' clash with AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Photoshopping the 47-year-old boss on to an image of Harry Potter riding a broomstick, Gazzetta dello Sport previewed the Group E match with the bizarre headline 'As if by magic'.

The Italian newspaper went so far as to overlay black spectacles on to the face of the Chelsea manager, although left out the teenage wizard's trademark scar.
