The Blues defeated Manchester City in the All England final at the end of the 2020/21 season. Kay Haverts scored the only goal to help Porto win 1-0.
Havertz’s goal ensured that Chelsea won the European Cup trophy for the second time in history, although the result was bittersweet for thousands of fans, otherwise they would stay in the stadium that night.
Both Chelsea and Manchester City fans were allowed to go to the rescheduled final-originally scheduled to take place in Turkey-despite Covid-19 restrictions limiting attendance to approximately 16,500 supporters.
This means that many Chelsea fans who are usually eligible to buy tickets to the final cannot watch their team win the trophy-but they got the chance because Tuchel’s players uncovered before the Blues’ pre-season friendly against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge Got the trophy Wednesday night.
Chelsea fans did not lose the opportunity to raise the trophy in front of their London opponents who had never won a trophy. They sang: “European Champions!”
Maybe the desirability of Spurs supporters is that they can’t participate in friendly matches to hear the ridicule…
