The European champions are already at home. With the prized Champions League (the second in Chelsea's history) passing from hand to hand, the 'blues' flew this Sunday from Porto to London. The restrictions due to the Covid pandemic prevented them from celebrating the title with their fans on an open-air bus ride through the streets near Stamford Bridge.
Nine years ago, as soon as they arrived from Munich (where on May 19, 2012 Chelsea beat Bayern on penalties at their own home to win their first Champions League), the team of Didier Drogba, John Terry, Frank Lampard or Fernando Torres experienced a triumphant parade before thousands of followers.
On this occasion, Chelsea already knew in advance that, whatever happened in Porto, there would be no rúa due to the health situation. Upon landing in the UK capital, the expedition moved to its Cobham training center. From there, home, but not before taking another photo all together with the ‘eared’, with which the great captain of the ‘blues’, César Azpilicueta, had the honor of having breakfast.
Chelsea celebrated their triumph until dawn at the hotel where they stayed in Porto. In the dressing room of Do Dragao, Thomas Tuchel broke in with a bottle of champagne with which he sprayed his players. Dances of the youngest. Jorginho Unleashed on the phone with his mother. After the tears on the pitch, the 'blue' party.
