'Disappointed in a broader sense' - How Chelsea owner Abramovich reacted to being targeted with anti-semitic attacks

For the first time during his ownership, the Blues owner has found himself coming under attack for more than just being wealthy

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has spoken of his concern over seeing the club's owner Roman Abramovich face anti-semitic attacks for the first time on social media.

The Blues owner has often been described as a Russian billionaire after his takeover of the club in 2003 but, in recent years, his ethnicity has come into focus.

Shortly after conducting a rare public interview and expressing concern about the racism faced by his club's players, he became the victim of abuse himself.
