John Terry’s TikTok Video Turns into Viral Moment After Chelsea’s Defeat

On Tuesday night, John Terry, who captained Chelsea during their most successful period, took to TikTok aiming to celebrate a dramatic late comeback against their London rivals. With Chelsea trailing 3-2 on aggregate during stoppage time at the Emirates Stadium, Terry filmed himself in his living room, urging his former team to score a goal that would force extra time.

What was meant to be a heartfelt display of support quickly morphed into a viral moment of schadenfreude for Arsenal supporters. Instead of witnessing a Chelsea miracle, Terry captured the precise moment Arsenal broke away, with Kai Havertz scoring in the 97th minute to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory and send the Gunners to Wembley.

In the video, Terry appeared visibly anxious as the clock wound down. “Just over a minute to go… we need a goal. Come on lads!” he exclaimed to the camera. As the crucial goal was netted, his demeanor shifted dramatically.

Desperate for a glimmer of hope, he immediately scanned for a lineman’s flag, pleading, “He’s offside. He’s offside, anyway. Sh*t. He’s offside… surely he’s offside?” before the harsh reality set in.

Losing at home was always going to be challenging for Chelsea in the second leg at the Emirates, and that proved true against a formidable Arsenal side. Terry later clarified on social media, stating that he was not lounging at home in his Chelsea tracksuit, but had just returned from coaching a UEFA Youth League match against PSV, which Chelsea won on penalties.

Arsenal fans wasted no time ridiculing the former defender, particularly focusing on his choice of attire. Despite Terry’s explanation, his decision to wear a full Chelsea tracksuit sparked relentless teasing. One Twitter user succinctly expressed the sentiment of Gunners supporters, stating, “John Terry is a full kit wanker.”

Another Arsenal fan remarked, “As an Arsenal fan, I had immense respect for John Terry as a player until tonight, when he recorded himself live, fully expecting Chelsea to pull off a miracle only to watch Arsenal crush it with that late winner. Now? I love him even more. That clip of pure pain and disappointment has me laughing at Chelsea fans harder than ever. Thanks for the free entertainment, JT!”

The commentary continued, with one user sarcastically noting, “John Terry said the goal was offside! Chelsea fans and ex-players are terrible people; they can’t be honest for once. Delusional people.” Another added, “Rumour has it, John Chav Terry is still pondering whether it was offside.”

As for the match’s aftermath, Terry was understandably upset to see Chelsea eliminated by their London rivals, breaking a five-game winning streak. Liam Rosenior’s side will now focus on their upcoming Premier League clash against Wolves, aiming to enhance their chances of a top-four finish this season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will keep a close watch on Wednesday’s match between Manchester City and Newcastle. Pep Guardiola’s team holds a 2-0 aggregate lead from the first leg of their semi-final tie and will be optimistic about achieving a favorable result at home, thereby securing a place in the Carabao Cup final.
