His first start for Chelsea turned into a trial by fire—Alejandro Garnacho was booed each time Lincoln City supporters saw him touch the ball. Yet instead of confrontation, Garnacho chose calm. SPORTbible+1
In a quiet but resonant move, he posted a photo of himself applauding fans on Instagram, captioned: “Happy to be in the next round. Can’t wait to see you at home on Saturday.” His gesture seemed to reject negativity while embracing the supporters. SPORTbible
Chelsea turned the tide to win 2-1. The match tested Garnacho’s mental strength as much as his technical ability—but his response showed resilience. Manager Maresca defended his selection under fire, saying the game was “not easy” but that Garnacho and others “did very well.” SPORTbible
