AS Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has slammed the Chelsea board and the management's work.

Fabregas, who spent four-and-a-half years at Chelsea before leaving in January, has called for a change of approach to create more positivity around the club.

"From inside, all these years that I spent at Chelsea, sometimes there's such a negativity surrounding the club for so many things," Fabregas told BT Sport before the match.

"[Jose] Mourinho leaves the club, have a fight. [Antonio] Conte leaves the club, they go to court.

"The club doesn't come out and tell things the way they are, so they just let the fans think whatever they want to think."

"They don't have enough information and someone should come out every now and then and talk to the press, say what's happening.

"If not there's so many questions marks around the club and the press talk and talk and talk. It just brings negativity.

"It should be always positivity surrounding everyone at the club.

"For example tonight we're talking about negative things when they're in a European final.

"We should be talking about what a good season Chelsea are having. Being in the Champions League and playing two finals.

"So some things needs to change in this case for sure."
