Fikayo Tomori has said his performance against his former team, Chelsea in the Champions League last week in London made him ‘angry’ and has vowed improvement in the return leg.
Tomori’s homecoming didn’t exactly go to plan as his former team Chelsea saw off AC Milan with relative ease last week, running out 3-0 winners. The centre-back was hoping to show the Blues exactly what they were missing but was at fault for one of the goals and has since said the manner of the result made him ‘angry.’
After scoring in Milan’s 2-0 win over Juventus on the weekend, Tomori told reporters: “After the match against Chelsea I was angry and I wanted to give everything on the pitch, when I scored the goal [vs Juve] that was my feeling.

“I wanted to cancel the performance against Chelsea and I expressed how I felt. We are here tomorrow to redeem ourselves. Against Chelsea it wasn’t the real Milan and it wasn’t the reaction we wanted. We know we have to learn from this match.”
The English defender has been in fine form since his move to Italy in 2021. He was an ever-present figure in Milan’s side last season, making 31 appearances in the league as they lifted the Scudetto for the first time in over a decade.
Due to the World Cup and the season’s tight schedule, Tomori doesn’t have to wait long to make amends against Chelsea, with the Italian champions hosting the Blues tonight.
