The Argentine performed the trick in a behind-the-scenes video posted on Chelsea’s website – with and Cole Palmer among the players seen laughing – while Blues fans were left loving it on too.

‘It is going to be tough because they are doing a great job,’ Pochettino said on Friday. ‘Very good squad, very good team.
‘They are playing so well they are competing for everything to win, not only the Premier League, the Champions League.
‘They are doing fantastic, it’s going to be tough but also we are confident we can give our best and give a very good game.’
