Chelsea have been one of the stories of the season for all the wrong reasons, but on Tuesday, their story basically came to an end as they exited the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid.
Realistically, with next to no chance of finishing in the top four this campaign, the Blues will not be in Europe's premier club competition next season, and have little to play for other than pride in the final weeks of 2022-23.
That is a sensationally poor return on the £600 million that the Blues have spent under Todd Boehly's stewardship in the past 12 months, and massive changes need to be made to fix a team who were celebrating winning the European Cup less than two years ago.
Madrid won 2-0 in the second leg as Rodrygo scored twice in the second half to double the Blancos' aggregate lead from the reverse fixture at Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti's team did not have it all their own way, but Frank Lampard was left to count the cost of yet more poor finishing from his expensively-assembled team.
