Chelsea fans savored a bit of schadenfreude as Arsenal’s hopes fizzled in the Champions League final, with Chelsea ultimately bowing out in the Round of 16 against the eventual champions. Chelsea social media leveraged the moment to remind London of their CL-winning pedigree, sparking a cross-pond jab from New York Knicks star Josh Hart after Arsenal’s defeat, who quipped that London’s blue team is superior and that Arsenal has never won Europe.
The piece also notes potential implications for Chelsea’s new managerial era, mentioning Xabi Alonso as a possible future Chelsea boss and the financial risk of missing European competition next season. With no European revenue, Chelsea could face a costly transfer window, with Enzo Fernandez highlighted as a likely departure option as Real Madrid reportedly shows interest.
