Gary Lineker was trolling Chelsea as they slumped to a 3-0 home

Proceedings at Stamford Bridge hadn't even come to a close and Gary Lineker was trolling Chelsea as they slumped to a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City.

One of the main differences between the two teams, aside from the obvious brilliance of Sergio Aguero's hat-trick, was Kevin de Bruyne, the former Chelsea man who was a constant thorn in the Blues' side, creating chances left, right and centre as City continuously hit Guus Hiddink's team on the counter attack with ruthless efficiency.

Many Chelsea fans have been left scratching their heads as to why the Belgian playmaker was allowed to depart the club for Wolfsburg in 2014, as he has quickly become one of the most potent attacking talents in world football since he left Stamford Bridge, first for Wolfsburg and then for City, this season. A fact that wasn't lost on Lineker, who cheekily tweeted the following message to his 4.7m followers:

I think if Chelsea had not let De Bruyne go they may have qualified for next season's Europa League.

Personally we think, even if they'd had De Bruyne at their disposal this season, the Belgian would have been powerless to prevent the disastrous defending that has plagued the Premier League champions throughout the 2015/16 campaign.

Guardiola: "Atletico has reached a new level in the last five years"

" We need to focus on the two parties." That is the message that has launched Pep Guardiola , Bayern Munich coach, his players before the match of the semifinals of the Champions League against Atletico and Simeone , who has eliminated the club. "Atletico has reached a new level in the last five years", he said Guardiola praised the great work of Simeone at the Calderon. He recalled Bayern coach Atletico has been able to eliminate Barca twice in the last three years in the quarterfinals, proof of its great potential.

"In recent years have conceded very few goals because they are well structured", has he said Bayern coach, who also wanted to remember that "the German players have never played against Atletico will be a great experience for them , " underlined Guardiola who will have to find alternatives offensive to overthrow the defensive structure Simeone , one of the best in Europe.

Mathias Sammer, sports director Bayern has also alerted Atletico Simeone. "It 's a team all passion, options are 50-50. We have to play seven matches in three weeks when we play everything. If you relax 2%, just being second , " said the executive of the Bavarian club.

Does not trust Guardiola . Does not trust Sammer . Does not trust Xabi Alonso . "Atletico is a powerful rival, defend well, but are also good attacking".
