John Terry Stuns Fans With Post Moments After Chelsea’s Defeat to Arsenal

Former Chelsea captain John Terry has left fans baffled with his post on TikTok after his beloved Blues were beaten by Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

Chelsea trailed 3-2 from the first leg at Stamford Bridge and many expected them to go for it at the Emirates in pursuit of a place in the final at Wembley.

However, the Blues played it cautious - with manager Liam Rosenior opting to play five defenders and line up with Enzo Fernandez and Liam Delap as wingers either side of Joao Pedro.

Cole Palmer was left on the bench until the 60th minute, with the intention being to stay in the game and kill Arsenal late on.

The game-plan didn't pan out as former Chelsea forward Kai Havertz popped up on the break in the 97th minute to make it 1-0 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate.

Terry, who won five Premier League titles with Chelsea, watched the game from home and posted a bizarre, selfie-shot video on his official TikTok page.

Terry, wearing his Chelsea tracksuit as he had been at the team's Youth League game against PSV, spoke to the camera during the dying moments of the game.

But while he willed Chelsea on to score an equaliser that would force extra time, he ended up capturing Havertz's goal - which he thought was offside at first.

Terry's daughter told him "Don't put that anywhere dad" after she swore in frustration but he continued to upload the reaction video on socials and captioned the post, "Losing at home was always going to be difficult in the second leg at the Emirates and that proved exactly that tonight against a solid Arsenal team. Also I’m not sitting at home in my Chelsea tracksuit, got back earlier from our Youth League Game Vs PSV which we won on penalties."

Terry said that it was "not a bad performance" from Chelsea but that they "didn't look like scoring at all".

The 45-year-old regularly posts similar videos on his TikTok and did so for the historic comeback win over West Ham. But fans could not believe why he opted to post the clip.

One user on X asked: "Why would he even post this ? Like he had the option to press post."

A second wrote: "Man saw that pass and he believed it was offside."

A third commented: "Gotta respect @JohnTerry26 for putting this out there and giving Arsenal fans good content to watch."

Terry's video has racked up nearly 900,000 views on TikTok, as well as 71,000 likes and more than 2,000 comments.

The former England defender is still involved with Chelsea, having returned in 2023 for a part-time role with the club's academy.

He previously worked under Dean Smith as a coach at both Aston Villa and Leicester City but has given up his dream of becoming a manager - with his current position seeing him work as an ambassador and mentor.

“I’m done in terms of coaching," he told The Sun in August.

"I’m enjoying my life, I’m working in the Chelsea academy.

“My role’s a part-time role, I love working with the kids, I love passing on my knowledge and experience to those boys.”

He added

“I went for a couple of jobs and those days are gone for me. I’m enjoying my life a little bit, I’ve got my time to myself, I play a bit of golf, I’m in the academy and I have some family time as well.

“It’s a really good balance for me.”
