Chelsea 'airbrush' Di Matteo out of Champions League triumph

Roberto di Matteo appears to have been airbrushed out of Chelsea's Champions League triumph last season.

The Daily Mail says Di Matteo was pictured on the West Stand wall with the rest of the squad and their trophies at the start of the season.

He has now been replaced by a huge image of Chelsea's players and coaching staff - minus the manager - celebrating the club's first European Cup triumph in the Allianz Arena.

And Chelsea supporters, who often take souvenir pictures next to the giant poster, have been left stunned by the decision.

Chelsea have pointed out that Di Matteo is pictured with the FA Cup in another area of the concourse.
