English tabloids insult Anderlecht

Despite the good game and the small defeat of Anderlecht in London, the British tabloids were very negative for Anderlecht. Here are some English comments...


The Sun: "Despite the 4,000 Anderlecht-fans, there were less spectators than a normal game against a team from the First Division. And Anderlecht did not deserve any better."

The Times: "Chelsea-fans thought Anderlecht were a disguised Sunderland. Goalie Cech had the same calm evening, just like the Chelsea-fans."

Daily Express: "Anderlecht don't have any ambition. Never seen a team that is happy after a defeat."

Daily Star: "Anderlecht was weak, and they have a strange goalkeeper. They were no danger to Chelsea."
