Man Utd legend Gary Neville brutally fires back at Chelsea troll after offering tactical insight into Real Madrid clash

The Blues suffered a 2-0 defeat by the Spanish giants in the quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

Chelsea’s goal was broken by Karim Benzema in the 21st minute, a moment Neville foresaw when he claimed the west Londoners were struggling to make the most of their possession.
After scoring, he tweeted: “Too late with my tactical advice!
“That came!!!”
A troll then mocked Neville’s short stint as manager of Valencia, which lasted just four months.
The Manchester United star responded by telling the troll he got a point against Los Blancos, saying: “Draw 2-2 with Real Madrid.”
The draw with Real was one of the few highlights of Neville’s tenure at the Mestalla, which ended after a run of three wins in 16 games.
And Neville – who oversaw a 7-0 win over Barcelona – admits he wasn’t ready for management when he took over the gig.
During an appearance on The Overlap, Neville said, “Roy [Keane] I’ve said no before and I said no the first time I was asked.

“I didn’t want to be a manager. Should have said no, it wasn’t for me and I didn’t have enough experience.”
He added: “Go there and think about four or five months.
“I didn’t think it was going to be easy, but I just thought I’d have to pilot the ship basically until the end of the season, literally four to five months.
“And I remember looking in the mirror over there one morning and I was like, ‘I’m fighting.’
“I didn’t know what to do with the players, changed the system, all the things I say on TV now you should never do and it was too much.
“From my depths. I had to get out of there, but it was something I learned a lot from.
“I wouldn’t do it again in the future. I would never do it again.”
