 Speaking to La Vanguardia , the 25-year-old said: “When I returned to the Brighton pitch with Chelsea I had been booed a lot too, even more.

“I think a lot of people had bought their tickets ahead of time and I imagine they were whistling through my hands. But these are things that happen, it’s not something that affects me.

“The truth is that going to a field where your team is not playing and, instead of enjoying a semi-final, spend the time whistling, I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m not saying this for myself, but you could be enjoying a really good game.”
