Chelsea and Dortmund stars clash in mass brawl with coaching staff involved as tempers boil over in Champions League
TEMPERS boiled over as Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund turned ugly.
The Blues’ frustrations were showing on the field as they found themselves a goal down following Karim Adeyemi’s opener.

Julian Ryerson took out Mason Mount as the last 16 first-leg tie went into added time.
And after a Chelsea coaching staff member tried to restart the game, it caused a melee on the touchline.
Players from both teams then began to get physical with each other as tempers flared.
Mount – who was initially fouled – received a booking for his part in the ruck and so too did Dortmund’s Niklas Sule.
Chelsea take a 1-0 deficit back to Stamford Bridge after Adeyemi broke away from a corner to put Dortmund ahead.
The goal just past the hour mark was enough to separate the sides, mounting further frustration on Blues boss Graham Potter.
But Dortmund star Jude Bellingham said: “We are really confident when he gets the ball one on one.
“Not many players can stop him. He had a tough time coming here at the start – finding his feet and now he’s flying.”
