FANS were left totally baffled by Clive Tyldesley’s bizarre Chelsea stat… comparing the misfiring Blues to the Kardashians.
The legendary commentator, 68, was on the mic for tonight’s crunch Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.
Tyldesley chatted with Kate Abdo and co in the CBS studio.
And sitting next to Rob Green in the gantry, one of the voices of football delivered the belting number-crunching golden nugget comparing Chelsea’s goal drought and spending to a “boring” Kim K mansion.
Tyldesley said: “In 12 games since the turn of the year, Chelsea have scored five goals.
“Since the turn of the year, Chelsea have spent $300million [£253m]. Five into $30m.

“I read somewhere that Kim Kardashian’s mansion in the Santa Monica hills is worth $60m.
“Well, that’s a Kim Kardashian mansion for every goal that Chelsea have scored for the money they’ve spent.”
Abdo simply replies: “Wow.”
While fans on social media could not work out what to make of the novel piece of information.

One wrote: “What a stat.”
And another said: “No way they just compared a Kardashian mansion to Chelsea…. what is this analysis.”
The Blues splashed the cash to bring in Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Malo Gusto and record-signing Enzo Fernandez.
But Graham Potter has barely been able to buy points, goals or wins in 2023 – only beating Crystal Palace and Leeds but losing six and drawing four before Dortmund headed to Stamford Bridge.
Kai Havertz thought he had goal No6 for Chelsea in 2023 – only to hit the post and see another chalked off.
Raheem Sterling, though, did eventually get it, blasting in to break the deadlock on the night and level the tie.
And Havertz put the Blues in front on aggregate after converting his controversial retaken penalty.
