Chelsea star Romeo Lavia focuses on Jamie Carragher for claiming

Chelsea -midfielder Romeo Lavia focused on Jamie Carragher after the pundit claimed that the blues would not have the ‘character’ to conquer a Champions League place.

“I think Chelsea and Nottingham Forest may both miss,” said the former Liverpool defender prior to the last day of the Premier League.

“I’m not sure if Chelsea has the character and the personality to go there and win.”

The side of Enzo Maresca continued with the fact that Carragher was wrong by winning a 1-0 win, with the blues returning to the Premier Club competition of Europe for the first time in three years.

After the victory, Lavia, who rejected the chance to join Carragher’s former side for the blues in 2023, Instagram stuck to the 47-year-old in a series of images that include one with his head.

The social media collection of the Belgian also contained an image of himself and Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, whose radical approach to the transfer market seems to be bearing fruit.

Maresca also hit the critics of him and Chelsea after the game and insisted on them to ‘Effen’ after they won in Nottingham Forest to conquer the qualification of the Champions League.

“I didn’t hesitate about the players,” said Maresca.

“The doubt was from outside. All those who have the answers or those who have the truth, they said we are too young, we are not good enough, they waited for Aston Villa to drop points for us to reach the Champions League.

‘They said we were unable to win on this field because we are too young because we are not experienced.

‘Unfortunately for them they are all wrong. All those who have the truth and have an answer to everything. So in English, how do you say? “Eff off” for everyone, because the players earn that. The efforts they have made is fantastic. ‘

Chelsea broke a new record by officially becoming the youngest team in the Premier League history. The average age of their line-ups above 2024-25 was 24 years and 36 days.

The previous record was set by Leeds United in 1999-2000 on 24 years and 162 days.

Maresca continued: ‘(Manchester) City lost here, Arsenal pulled here, Liverpool pulled here, Chelsea won. It’s not easy. The players, they showed how good they are.

‘Unfortunately we are in a company where people judge us because of the results. And today, in case we couldn’t win the game, you would probably all judge a disaster. But it was not a disaster. ‘
