but Tuchel literally went insane after a lazy mistake.

A simple pass was passed Loftus Cheek on the touchline, with the 10-cap England star seemingly taking his eyes off the ball.

Tuchel – who was standing just meters away – spun around and jumped up and down angrily, gesturing wildly.

The German boss appeared to yell something furiously as the night’s emotions seemed to get the better of him.

Loftus-Cheek has had a bit of a run at the Chelsea side of late and has been impressing fans since returning from yet another injury – particularly if he often plays out of position at right-back.

But even the most staunch Blues fans seemed to lose patience in the first half at the Bernabeu – despite leading 1-0.

One angry fan tweeted: “Loftus-Cheek is a disaster waiting to happen.

“Have to pick himself up drastically before half-time.”

Another wrote: “Loftus-Cheek is the weak link in this Chelsea team.”

A third added: “Loftus-Cheek had strayed from it. Must get off.”

And it was a familiar theme as hordes of fans urged Tuchel to relieve Loftus-Cheek of his duties at half-time.

But Loftus-Cheek stayed on the pitch – and celebrated moments later as Antonio Rudiger doubled Chelsea’s lead on the night with a header from a corner early in the second half.
