Strasbourg were knocked out of the Conference League in the semi-finals by Rayo Vallecano, and the supporters took their anger out on Chelsea-bound Emanuel Emegha.

The Dutchman is already confirmed to be moving to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, a decision which has not gone down well with the fellow BlueCo club.

French media completely turned on Emegha after his poor performance in the first leg, and an injury ruled him out of taking part in the return to France.

Despite an incredible performance from Mike Penders, and a return to the side for Valentin Barco, they were unable to turn around their first leg deficit, losing both games 1-0.

As the players applauded their supporters at full-time, they did not reciprocate the gesture, leaving to Emegha approaching them to try and calm them down, as shown by Canal+.

Despite teammate Diego Moreira trying to stop him, the striker insisted to confront the angry mob, only intensifying their reaction in the process.

The best possible solution is for Emegha to get out of there immediately, despite being the captain of the club. His relationship with supporters is clearly fractured.

Emegha’s fitness already a worry for Chelsea

The Netherlands international has hardly played this season. He has started just four Ligue 1 games due to various injury problems.

Emegha was visibly shaken after his latest issue, with him not getting the chance to prove to Chelsea what he can do before his move.

The Blues are planning to part ways with multiple strikers this summer, as they look to add genuine competition for Joao Pedro.

Nicolas Jackson will certainly be one of those, and it remains to be seen whether Emegha will be too despite never even playing for the club.
