And Maurizio Sarri’s side will need to up their game dramatically if they want to progress past the Europa League quarter-final tie.

Chelsea struggled to even keep possession of the ball away from home, with Slavia pressing hard and test Kepa Arrizabalaga on numerous occasions.

Sarri decided to leave out the likes of Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

But he may need to make some changes if he wants to return to Stamford Bridge with an advantage.

Fans were quick to make their feelings known on social media as the half-time whistle rang.

One said: “Well that was awful.”

Another wrote: “Embarrassing.”

One tweeted: “Proof that none of these players should be nowhere near the starting XI.”

Another added: “Reason why Hazard wants to leave… it’s understandable. Don’t ask him why.”
