Chelsea are SAVAGED in the European papers after Champions League loss to Real Madrid

Edouard Mendy has been unflatteringly compared to Loris Karius after 'shipwrecked' Chelsea's Champions League hopes were dealt a serious blow by Real Madrid - with the ineffective Christian Pulisic also singled out for blame.

A mistake by the Chelsea goalkeeper at the start of the second half allowed Karim Benzema through to complete a stunning hat-trick as the Spanish side took complete control of the quarter-final tie.

Spanish newspaper AS drew parallels between Mendy's mistake and the former Liverpool keeper Karius, who threw the ball straight to Benzema in the 2018 Champions League final.
