Eagle-eyed fans spot what Cesar Azpilicueta did in Conor Gallagher's first Atletico Madrid training session

Fans have spotted what Cesar Azpilicueta did to Conor Gallagher during the England international's first training session at his new club Atletico Madrid.

Gallagher was announced as an Atletico Madrid player on Wednesday, after a long drawn-out deal which has seen Joao Felix leave the Spanish side to rejoin Chelsea.

Speaking after signing for the Premier League club, Felix said: "After two loans, Chelsea and Barca, I needed to stay permanently in one place.

"There is no better place for me to be than Chelsea. I see a perfect place to shine.

"It was a little bit of a lot of things that made me want to come back: the project, the club, the league, the fans, the time I spent here that I loved. I felt really good when I was here, despite the results we had. I’m really happy to be back," he added.

While the arrival of Felix is certainly a positive for Chelsea supporters, the departure of Gallagher hasn't gone down particularly well, with fans even chanting the midfielder's name during their opening-day loss to Man City.

Gallagher has immediately started training with his new side with footage now released, and fans have all noticed what Azpilicueta did during his former Chelsea colleague's first session.

In the footage, Azpilicueta appears to be in constant dialogue with Gallagher, likely to help translate drills and instructions to the Englishman.

One fan commented: "Captain fantastic, Azpi still captaining the Chelsea."

Another replied: "Azpilicueta really is a good guy, Gallagher is surely in good hands over there all the best Conor."

One fan was concerned the language barrier may prove to be an issue for Gallagher, particularly considering the 24-year-old didn't push for the move away.

They wrote: "I don’t know. Even tho Azpi’s there I can feel the weight on Gallagher's chest. I can feel the sense of being lost. I don’t think this was in the plan. I really think he didn’t want to leave."
