Former Chelsea midfielder, Joe Cole has knocked goalie, Kepa Arrizabalaga, saying that he should justify the huge pay he’s being paid at Stamford Bridge.
Karim Benzema and Marco Ascensio scored for the Galaticos to give them a massive two-goal advantage ahead of the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge,.
Chelsea played with 10 men from the 59th minute of the game after Ben Chilwell was sent off. The Blues have failed to score a goal in their last four matches.
But Cole is much more worried over goalkeeper Arrizabalaga.
Cole told BT Sport: “I think Chelsea want to get around Kepa, whereas a top goalkeeper – like what we see with Thibaut Courtois [Real Madrid goalkeeper] – in those moments [claims the ball], that’s what you pay the big money for.
“For me, when you’re defending a set-piece, especially in those situations, your goalkeeper [is vital] alongside the centre-halves. You’re down to 10 men at the Bernabeu, Thiago Silva is 38, he’s on his knees.
“That’s when you need Kepa to go, ‘Right, you go there, you go there, you go there, we’ll deal with that and we’ll get in at 1-0!’
“But there was none of that.”
