OPINION
Chelsea cantered to a win against PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night but fans were fuming at Pedro after he was substituted in the second half.
He played brilliantly at Stamford Bridge, with an incredible first touch, but he obviously wasn’t happy with manager Maurizio Sarri when he was taken off.
He flung his shirt down in disgust before he’d even got off the pitch and fans took to Twitter to berate their star.
Fans love it when players don’t want to be taken off – it’s a sign of passion and dedication. They hate it when they see their shirt being disrespected though.
And it was so needless tonight. Chelsea were already 3-0 up when Pedro was taken off and the result of the match had already been decided.
Sarri probably had an eye on the Premier League game against Fulham on Sunday.
The incident didn’t go down well with the Chelsea fans. here are the best reactions:
Pedro tossing his shirt on the floor isn't a smart move.

Nasty reaction of Pedro after being subbed. I know nobody likes to go out, but tossing the shirt is just nasty.

Pedro dropping his shirt to the ground in disgust at being subbed off for Willian. Whatever grievances you have, you respect the shirt!
Disgrace #CHEPAOK
