Chelsea FC suffered a shock defeat against Austria Vienna in a pre-season friendly, Antonio Conte’s first game as Blues manager.
The Chelsea faithful had their hopes high after Antonio Conte was announced as the man to take over the reins at Stamford Bridge, but were handed a huge shock after the Blues succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against Austria Vienna. There was plenty to gain from this one-off tie, and the Italian coach would want to take the positives and forget about the result.
Here’s how the game panned out on social media:

It’s the year 2090, a warm evening at Stamford Bridge. The crowd sigh as the Chelsea manager fields Ivanovic’s ashes in a jar at RB.
