Always a blue! Conor Gallagher shares special moment with Chelsea academy stars in Madrid after helping Atletico to Champions League victory

Gallagher's loyalty to Chelsea was on full display this week after the midfielder took a photo with the club's academy players after Atletico Madrid's win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League. The Blues youngsters were preparing to participate in the Madrid Football Cup alongside some of Europe's best academies and made sure to get a quick snap with the Cobham graduate.

Posting on Instagram, Gallagher said: "Great to see some of the academy boys in Madrid. Appreciate you coming to watch me and the team last night. Good luck in the tournament."

Gallagher always left his blood, sweat and tears out on the pitch for Chelsea and his latest social media post proves he will always have a strong bond with the London club. He has hit the ground running with Atletico but looks like he will always remain a Blue at heart.

Following Atletico's Champions League win against RB Leipzig, Diego Simeone's side will return to La Liga action on Sunday when they travel to Rayo Vallecano. Gallagher netted his first goal for the Spanish side last weekend against Valencia.
