Twitter reacts to a thrilling first half between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain

There's been plenty said about Chelsea's decision not to offer 35-year-old John Terry a new contract.

But after the opening stages of their Champions League second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, their captain's absence from the heart of their defence was clearly felt. Adrien Rabiot opened the scoring for the French champions after sixteen minutes, making the most of some poor Chelsea defending.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter was brutally honest in its assessment of Chelsea's attempt to prevent the opener.

This Chelsea supporter was particularly downbeat...

The composure shown by the Brazilian-born Spaniard was admired by plenty

Not that it changed how some people felt about him...
