After Chelsea's Champions League exit, Thiago Silva blasts the club's owners.
Following Chelsea's exit from the Champions League, Thiago Silva criticized the club's ownership and asserted that a subpar transfer policy was a factor in the team's unrest.
Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to advance to the Champions League semifinals, eliminating Chelsea from the competition.
Chelsea's final seven games will be managed by Frank Lampard, but the club is virtually certainly going to lose out on playing in the Champions League next season as they are currently 17 points short of fourth place in the Premier League.
Both Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique were questioned this month as part of Chelsea's aggressive hunt for Lampard's long-term replacement.Silva, though, thinks that Chelsea's leadership's 'indecision' has been a major factor in the team's failure this season.
I believe the initial step has been taken. It was a mistake, but it was nonetheless taken, Silva added.
If we don't accept responsibility, we can't blame the managers. The club is going through a challenging time with lots of uncertainty.

We had to expand the changing room due to the squad's size, a change in ownership, and the arrival of new players.
The squad has some outstanding players, which is a plus, but there will inevitably be disgruntled players as well.
The fact that not everyone can play means that there will always be someone who is upset.
It's difficult for the manager to choose just 11 players from a roster of around thirty.
"Some can't make the squad; we signed eight in January; we need to pause and formulate a plan; otherwise, we risk repeating the same errors next season."
Silva also rejected the idea that Chelsea's condition could be instantly improved by hiring a new manager.
"Everyone talks about replacing managers too much." The Brazilian athlete stated, "I believe it is also our obligation as players.
"This season, we've had three managers, plus a fourth with Bruno, and we didn't succeed." With Lampard, we failed to win today and have lost.
"Everyone is talking about the manager, but we need to examine what went wrong and work to make changes."
After the final whistle, Silva became upset and admitted that his legendary career's final Champions League match will likely be against Real Madrid.
For me personally, this has been a really challenging and unpleasant season. said Silva.
"It might have been my final Champions League game."
"My career is coming to an end, and I only have one year left on my contract." A very sad day has come.
But I believe that until the end of the season, we must keep trying to win as many games as we can.
