Chelsea's Sarri storms out after players’ pre-final spat

Maurizio Sarri stormed out of training on the eve of Chelsea’s Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku. The Blues manager threw his club baseball cap to the turf, kicked it, picked it up and threw it down again, before walking down the Baku Olympic Stadium tunnel.

His fury appeared to be ignited by what looked a minor skirmish involving striker Gonzalo Higuain and defender David Luiz at the end of a training match during the session. Sarri’s walk-off came just hours after he had claimed a growing love for his players amid rumours surrounding his long-term future.
