Funnily enough I was very tempted by 5-0 to us as well, but went with a conservative 2-0 instead - though with all the chaos today off the pitch who knows how the team will perform tonight!

That cheered me up a bit, at least some silver linings!😉

Gonna be a busy time at the club trying to find a way out of this now!

Norwich 0-2 Chelsea Mount 29'

Impressive call that, nicely done!

Burnley 0-1 Chelsea Mount 58'

Through to the next round - glad we preserved second half to turn it around after the first half shocks - just about getting that win tonight.

Enjoyed that goal, well done, in front let's keep that lead!

Whatever the current geopolitical situation, when it comes purely to Chelsea football club, Roman Abramovich has been the owner during which Chelsea have had the most successful footballing achievements in the history of the club with an amazing list of trophies won during his time - he provided the basis for Chelsea to become one of the very top clubs known worldwide. Roman built a footballing Empire at Chelsea, and as the comments here show, he is going to leave with the thanks of the vast majority of Chelsea fans for the footballing success he helped to provide. Hopefully the next owner will build on the successes from Roman's reign - we all know a lot of other clubs have a lot more trouble with owners, so will have to wait and see, but in the meantime, just thanks to Roman for all the positives during his two decades with Chelsea.

Not gonna pretend super confident going into this match, but then am reminded we've gone toe to toe with them two times in the league this season already and held them to draws in competitive games twice - hope the team give it their all in this third encounter this season and surprise them and we grab a win and lift another trophy today!

Crystal Palace 1 - 1 Chelsea Lukaku 40'

It was a long match to watch, not at our best, but for all that, the team did it in the end, and seeing that trophy lift was great and cheering up to see - blue is the colour, Chelsea as Champions of the World!

CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD! WE'VE TRULY WON IT ALL!

Yes have it!!!! Kai with the goal to make Chelsea the Champions of Europe, now c'mon Kai with the goal that hopefully will make Chelsea the Champions of the World in about five minutes!

Yes have that Palmerias turn about is fair play! C'mon lads take this opportunity!

Can we get Kepa on soon for the penalty shootout that seems probable? Mendy is brilliant, but Kepa does have the better penalty record as far as I am aware.

Exactly this, gonna be tough to endure another half hour of this - unless we can actually get into gear properly, hope over expectation on that one, but would love to be surprised, c'mon Chels

Man United been challenging hard for that unwanted trait in recent weeks! We should he doing so much better though compared to that lot, considering how we were through most of 2021 - even with the injuries the team has suffered in recent months, especially in defence, we should do better.

Yeah tbh just damn frustrated with how the dominant position we had turned around unnecessary

So so frustrating damn it need to get back in the game again now with momentum shifting just after the pen

F off ridiculous to call that a pen on the footage shown

Well done Big Rom, a big goal needed for the big event and he delivered! Come on keep it going Chelsea!

A close frustrating first half of the match so far, can't say it's too unexpected unfortunately with how we've been performing recently - hardly an entertaining spectacle, tough to watch as a fan, for a neutral must be abysmal, would have switched over to something else already. Neither side inspiring much threat yet, we need to improve significantly second half, will be so annoyed if we mess this one up again after we did almost a decade ago. Hope the team put in a proper determined effort second half and secure the result we want to see!

Yeah some good performances one of our best performing players recently, was another good effort today especially in the second half when Al-Hilal started putting some pressure on, Kepa kept our lead going. It's a credit to his recent performances that the question even exists now on if he could start the final - wouldn't have expected that a year or two ago.

Hard going to watch especially as the match went on - at least we are through, but need to perform a lot better for the final.
