In what appears to be a reaction to critical direct messages from a Chelsea fan on social media, Mykhailo Mudryk proposed a ‘£10,000 1v1’ challenge. Faced with derogatory remarks about his recent performances, the Ukrainian winger seemed to respond with frustration. Chelsea, managed by Mauricio Pochettino, experienced a dismal week, culminating in a 4-2 home defeat to Wolves.

The match saw Cole Palmer calmly scoring the opening goal, providing Chelsea with an opportunity to bounce back from their 4-1 loss to Liverpool. However, the mood quickly soured when a careless pass from Moises Caicedo led to Wolves equalizing. The game ended with a 4-2 victory for Wolves, amplifying Chelsea’s woes.

Following the abuse directed at Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez after the Liverpool loss, several Blues players became targets of online trolls. A viral remark from Mudryk’s account sparked controversy, where he challenged the fan to a 1v1 game for £10,000. The unidentified user initially agreed but later rescinded the offer, prompting Mudryk to question their football skills. Despite the online exchange, Mudryk, who came on as a second-half substitute, contributed an assist to Thiago Silva’s consolation goal against Wolves, showcasing his resilience amidst social media criticism.
