Filip Jorgensen came under the spotlight during Chelsea’s 5-2 loss against Paris Saint-Germain, with the French media giving their honest take on his performance.
Liam Rosenior made a big call prior to kick-off by choosing to start Filip Jorgensen.
The goalkeeper was benched in Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Wrexham which saw Robert Sanchez make a mistake, leading to Rosenior giving him the nod at the Parc des Princes.
However, it didn’t go to plan at all. Jorgensen could have done better for at least three of the goals and had fans’ hearts in their mouths at times with the ball at his feet.
The French media noticed just how shaky the Chelsea goalkeeper was, with one outlet even predicting that something bad was going to happen before it all unfolfed.

Ouest France were the first to give their thoughts on Jorgensen during the game.
The Chelsea goalkeeper has played with fire too much and Barcola has his revenge!
Jorgensen is at fault again, he doesn’t have a firm enough hand on this shot!
Le Monde even predicted Jorgensen’s downfall.
He’s going to make a mess of this goalkeeper, he’s too serene. We saw it coming, and it didn’t fail! Jorgensen plays it too easy, stealing the ball from his feet, and Vitina ends up working her magic by lobbing to take the advantage!
What should Liam Rosenior’s next move be?🤔
