"I said after the [Ajax] game it was a special night, special for the club and the fans with so many young players. We are full of good, young, talented players and the main thing for me is just to try to help them day by day get better and better. It's the only way to improve the team if you can help the players."

"I've done everything at Chelsea and for me now, the one thing that is missing is being manager of the football club hence why I went into coaching after I finished, because my dream was to go out and learn my trade a little bit."

It was the right decision at the time. Then there are the human variables; no one could have predicted Lukaku's difficulties, perhaps not so much environmental ones, because he knew the club, but rather in his relationship with the coach. He came from an almost father-son relationship with (Antonio) Conte, and that difference in approach affected him in some way, along with the injury he suffered. If it hadn't been for that, the story would have been different.

Chelsea signed Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United in the summer transfer window this year and they could get another player next year from Old Trafford. The Blues have been active in the market in recent windows and reshaped their squad under the leadership of manager Enzo Maresca. According to Teamtalk, Chelsea's interest in Kobbie Mainoo shows no signs of waning. Despite boasting a stacked midfield, the Blues are reportedly still keeping tabs on the 20-year-old Man United midfielder.

The Blues had been monitoring Guehi's situation closely, given his background at the Cobham Academy and his impending contract expiry at Crystal Palace next summer. However, with the England international now tipped for a move to Liverpool or Real Madrid, Chelsea have shifted their focus toward Murillo, a player who has been on their radar since the summer. Under the management of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea continue to reshape their squad as they aim to build a Premier League title winning team.

This was the moment Estevao Willian arrived in English football. More than 16 months since a deal was agreed to bring the teenager to Stamford Bridge from Palmeiras, Estevao sent Chelsea fans into delirium by scoring a 95th-minute winner to clinch a 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Liverpool. The goal sparked such emotion that Blues manager Enzo Maresca was sent off for running 50 yards to celebrate with his players.

It wasn't good enough from us as a club. The first 15 minutes was the worst we have played all season. We struggled in the first half. Always difficult going to 10 men down. United were up for it, and they put us under pressure. We have played in the Premier League long enough now, so we just have to learn from this and move forward. Whether it is 10 men each, it is always difficult from 2-0 down.

I think just being out and being two girls in love, if we can change one or two people's lives and the way they feel about each other, that means a lot to me. I love to share my relationship on social media,

If I think back to those Chelsea teams that won everything, they had Petr Cech, Carvalho, John Terry that's the basis of any team, Hargreaves said, as quoted by the Metro. It's not a criticism, it's just a fact and I thought the two young centre-backs did okay but we're talking about (Luis) Diaz, (Michael) Olise and Kane, some of the top performers, it was a big ask for them but mistakes cost them more than anything.

Two-time European champions Chelsea are back at the top table after a two-year absence. Chelsea will feature in the Champions League for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign, and their first match back is against heavyweights Bayern Munich. A trip to Munich - the scene of one of their most famous nights - welcomes them back into the Champions League fold, and the Blues are going up against a team bang in form.

The team bus was making its way down the motorway, the atmosphere relaxed. Cards could be heard being slapped on tables. Pizarro was sitting with some teammates when his mobile suddenly rang. He didn't know the number, but he immediately recognised the voice on the line. It was José Mourinho. "I quickly fled into the little kitchen to take the call," Pizarro recalls in our new exclusive website series LEGACY - The Voice of Legends. The coach wanted to sign him, and the Peruvian quickly made the decision to move to Chelsea.

Chelsea are set to make an attacking midfielder a priority in the transfer market in the coming year after missing out on Xavi Simons in the summer, CaughtOffside understands. The Blues had a busy summer bringing in exciting talents such as Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho, but their recruitment team continues to be busy assessing future targets.
