FC NOAH asked the world "what did you expect?" after they were destroyed 8-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Transfermarkt puts the value of the entire Noah squad at £6.5 million - compared to Chelsea's £1.4 BILLION-rated roster.

No wonder Chelsea are favourites to win the competition - their squad is worth just £83m less than the other 35 teams COMBINED.

Meanwhile hapless Noah were named after the biblical ark, which came to rest on Mount Ararat, a national symbol of Armenia.

And the floodgates soon opened as the Chelsea lions came roaring first through Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu inside 13 minutes.

Goals from Axel Disasi, misfit Mykhailo Mudryk and a double from Joao Felix, who is yet to start in the Prem, made it 6-0 by half-time.

Top striker Christopher Nkunku, who can't get a blip of Prem action either, scored his ninth and tenth goals of the season, through a rebound and a harsh penalty to cap off a historic night.

But Armenia's fourth best team were hilariously realistic in their post-match response.

Noah posted on X: "What did you all really expect to happen against one of the best teams in the world.

"That's not supposed to be in the Conference League, and has a squad value 124 times bigger than ours?"

Neither team belongs in this competition with twice Champions League winners Chelsea slumming it after a couple of crazy seasons following a takeover in 2022.

Minnows Noah have only been in existence for seven years and had to scrap all the way through three qualifying rounds and a play off just for a chance to play under the lights in West London.

Thursday night's 8-0 victory broke the previous Conference League record win.

The old record for the highest victory was Norwegian side Nordsjaelland's 7-1 triumph over Bulgarian outfit Ludogerets in October 2023.

After three games Chelsea have scored 16 goals, twice the total of the next-best team Legia Warszawa.

Europe’s third-tier competition is the only title missing from Chelsea’s trophy list and it already seems a matter of time before they put that right.

Blues supporters may as well book their flights and hotels in the Polish city of Wroclaw for next May because it seems inconceivable that Enzo Maresca’s B team will not make it to the final.

But it's not an entirely foregone conclusion - Tottenham failed to win it in 2021 and Aston Villa were sunk to Olympiacos in last season's semi-final.

Meanwhile Cole Palmer isn't even in the League Phase squad.

He was spotted standing in a tracksuit pitch-side with Prem regular Levi Colwill, as the pair took pictures and signed autographs for fans.

Chelsea supporters saw Palmer's presence as a boost ahead of Sunday's crunch clash against Arsenal.

The 22-year-old was considered a doubt, after picking up a knock during the Blues' 1-1 draw with Manchester United last weekend.
