Rio Ferdinand had an arty gaffe during BT Sport’s coverage of Chelsea against Borussia Dortmund
He tried circling Dortmund players but the line would not follow his instructions
Ferdinand attempted to draw a loop around Jude Bellingham Emre Can and Salih Özcan, but was let down by the technology ahead of the Champions League clash.
As the white line started to appear on the graphic of the line-ups, it began to wobble until appearing to look like a version of Pac-Man eating the Dortmund players.
The first reaction to the wobbly line was pundit Joe Cole releasing a childish giggle.
That caused Jake Humphrey to question Ferdinand on what he was drawing, declaring: “What is THAT?”
Ferdinand batted it away by saying: “Nice bit of art there.”
Ferdinand was also stunned by the size of England international Jude Bellingham during the build-up tot he game.
The ex-Red Devils defender said: “I’ve just seen the size of Jude Bellingham close up.
“I mean I’ve seen him up on TV a few times, this is the closest I’ve seen him.

The west Londoners welcomed the Bundesliga big boys to Stamford Bridge tonight for the second leg of their last 16-tie.
Kick-off was due to take place at 8pm, but the late arrival of the Dortmund bus scuppered that.
The Germans turned up nearly 30 minutes late due to major congestion around Stamford Bridge, which was in part caused by thousands of fans of both teams walking through the streets of west London.
The Blues were 1-0 down after the first leg.
