Chelsea's recent dip in form has seen them become somewhat of a punchline. However, the latest joke at the expense of the Blues has nothing to do with their on-the-pitch displays.
It was the London giant's official website that was made a mockery of in social media after a laughable mix-up. In an article advertising tickets for their upcoming Europa League fixture. The Premier League giant unfortunately got the name of their quarter-final opponent wrong.
Sarri's men will be taking on Slavia Prague in the last eight, with the first leg set to take place on April 11. However, Chelsea confused their opponent with the Czech Republic's most successful Sparta Prague.
This did not go unnoticed by the Czech First League's third-placed side. Sparta Prague took to social media to correct Chelsea albeit with a troll. Check out what they wrote in the tweet below.
Hi guys @ChelseaFC, we completely understand you are confused, since we are the most famous and most succesful club from Prague. But this time you play against Slavia, sorry...:( pic.twitter.com/z0EzQ9IhM3

The Stamford Bridge side has since corrected that mistake but one issue that remains to be ratified is their performance this season. Under Sarri, the London giant struggles to impress continue and this was evident for all to see in their recent 2-1 win over Cardiff.
Despite the victory, many felt Chelsea did not deserve all three points as poor officiating went in their favor. Their Italian gaffer must find a solution quick, or risk failing to qualify for the Champions League.
