'It is costing us!': Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga claims that manager 'changes' have led to their on-pitch struggles... after Blues were blown away in Champions League clash with Real Madrid

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalga has claimed that the multiple changes in management during the 2022-23 campaign has 'cost' his side.

The Blues were breezed past in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday night, as Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio wrapped up a routine 2-0 win.

It was Frank Lampard's second match in charge since taking over as caretaker manager, after the departure of Graham Potter earlier this month.

Lampard became the third man to step into the Chelsea dugout this season, following Thomas Tuchel's sacking at the start of the campaign, and there are now suggestions that the changes in management has negatively influenced the squad.
