While Chelsea might have won the Champions League over two months ago, the euphoria of a night that the players will remember for a long, long time continues among players, especially a certain Reece James. The right-back recently came back to Cobham with the rest of the English contingent after a short vacation following England’s …

Chelsea emerged 2-1 winners in the first match of the ongoing Mind Series pre-season friendly competition, as they defeated Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea and Nike have released their new away kit for the upcoming 2021/2022 season, a kit that reintroduces yellow in the west London club’s colours – but this time in a lighter shade than usual. It was a nod to the past as yellow has been a recurrent theme in Chelsea’s away kits over the …
Armando Broja continued his incredible run of form in pre-season for Chelsea with another goal against Bournemouth last night. After a couple of training ground matches – a 6-1 win against Peterborough, and a 1-1 intra-squad encounter – Chelsea officially kicked off their pre-season campaign with a friendly at the Vitality Stadium. Despite going behind …
Callum Hudson-Odoi has had an impressive pre-season so far. The young Englishman who was touted to become one of the best young players in the world has not lived up to expectations just yet, but that might soon be a thing of the past if he keeps up the rich vein of form that he …
Unai Simon just couldn’t help but applaud as Jorginho scored a highly unconventional but mighty effective penalty to send Italy through to the finals of the European Championship.

Thorgan Hazard found out why Jorginho is so difficult to play against as the Borussia Dortmund midfielder got sent to the shadow realm while trying to press the Chelsea stalwart. Italy reigned supreme in their 2020 European Championship quarter-final encounter against Belgium and secured progress to the semi-finals as goals from Nicolo Barella and Lorenzo …
Germany crashed out of the 2020 European Championship on Tuesday after losing 2-0 to England at Wembley Stadium. Die Mannschaft were vastly anonymous and mostly unimaginative in their performance – with the exception of Kai Havertz who was their only beacon of light throughout the game. The 22-year old Havertz had arguably been the Germans’ …
If Billy Gilmour had any nerves after being thrown in the deep end against England, he sure didn’t show them. The Chelsea lad was thrust into action at the biggest of stages as Scotland manager Steve Clarke put him on the team sheet to face their arch-rivals and the 20-year-old responded by winning the man …
Germany lacked incision throughout in their opening match of the 2020 European Championship against France last night, but footage from the game has shown that Antonio Rüdiger didn’t.

Olivier Giroud turned fox in the box twice after replacing an injured Karim Benzema in the first half as France won their final Euro 2020 warmup fixture with a 3-0 win against Bulgaria.

It was a mini Kai Havertz show during the first half of Germany’s 7-1 thrashing of Latvia as the Chelsea star grabbed an assist and forced an own goal at the Esprit Arena. The 21-year-old continues to make the headlines after heroics during the Champions League final against Manchester City as he started the rout …
Scoring goals and that too bullet headers is not a trait one would normally associate while talking about N’Golo Kante. But that’s exactly what the Chelsea midfielder did during a training session with the French squad. Although, in a game of handball. The former Leicester City player brilliantly applied the finishing touches to a passing …
Christian Pulisic was cool, calm and collected as he struck his penalty hard into the right upper corner of Guillermo Ochoa’s net to score the game-winning goal in extra time for the U.S. Men’s National Team. It was another classic match between the two North American nations as the USA took down Mexico in an …
Olivier Giroud continues to prove that he is one of the best strikers of the ball in the game as the Frenchman slammed a rambunctious scissor-kick volley while preparing for Chelsea’s Champions League final against Manchester City. Chelsea went on to win the final as Giroud remained an unused substitute in Porto but his contribution …
Jorginho’s footballing IQ was on display in abundance in the Champions League final as the Chelsea midfielder’s impressive movement cut down a large part of the pitch as an attacking option for Manchester City. The Italian was quick on his feet to detect which opponent he had to take care of as he marshalled the …
As much as the post-match reactions have mostly been about Pep Guardiola overthinking his lineup for the final, a new video doing the rounds online shows that it was the defensive organization that won Chelsea the Champions League. Be it Azpilicueta intercepting a threatening De Bruyne cross, Rudiger’s last-ditch block on Foden or Ben Chilwell …
