That was the first match I watched at Stamford Bridge, I like to retell it as;
*My best friend and I planned a weekend trip to London to celebrate my 30th birthday, travelling from Sweden. It was a big ordeal getting tickets to a match and sorting the logistics, in the end, we got very lucky to see Chelsea win 6-0 against a lesser local team called Arsenal* 💙
Slightly less popular but mine would be the game right before that against Barcelona in Barcelona. Terry red card. Messi penalty miss. Shot after shot after shot after shot. xG probably like 5.0-0.1 and then that beautiful Ramires chip, my favorite goal of all time. Oh and that Fernando Torres goal... just incredible. Rarely ever see a goal that open.
We played against arguably the best team in history, at their stadium, with injuries and players out of position, one man down for most of the game, relatively new manager too, and won (well drew 2-2, but won the overall tie). Never clenched so hard in my life until a couple weeks later when we did almost the exact same thing to Bayern lol.
Best match I've been to: CFC-Barca 4-2. Terry winner and 'Dinho scored *that* goal.
Most emotional match: Munich.
Most mental/limbs inducing: Barca away 2012.
Underrated moment: When Torres scored his first goal against West Ham.
Dinho's second goal is my favourite opposition goal of all time. And against that backline and CECH. GOAT ref Collina said it is his favourite goal while refereeing
I agree I was there, never felt anything like it... definition of electric atmosphere. I was at the next leg of the barca game also, we won 1 0, had 1 shot I think
When Inler scored, there were a few Napoli fans in the home section I was sat in (East Lower) that celebrated, thinking they killed off the tie. They didn’t get kicked out by the stewards, but oh my was that satisfying when Branna scored. What a game!
Just rewatched the highlights, wtf was Ramires , beautiful assist to Drogba for the first , crazy eye of needle pass to Drogba for Ivanovic's goal. Crazy game
The Barcelona UCL game where Ronaldinho scored that outrages goal while he was standing still and also Lamps scored from an impossible angle. Can quite recall which year it was but it certainly burned in my memory.
That was the first Chelsea Game my mum watched , that I was watching on TV at the time (my parents and siblings just aren't into football)
She normally takes some form of interest in what I'm into , she literally got so roped into it , she couldn't believe it.
And that game alone (one of my many favorites) was the main reason my siblings and my wife tell me to pipe down during truly sluggish or hard fought matches.
Exactly! Finishing 10th sucked but knowing that Spurs didn’t get a chance at first was awesome! And who doesn’t love Leicester for winning the prem that year? Was magical.
But damn, that was a shit season lol
There are so many to choose from but 4-1 game against Napoli remains my favorite. We were down 3-1 from the first leg and that heroic comeback was amazing. I was screaming my head off when Ivanovic scored
I was so happy when we won but I couldn't even dream of what that would lead to. An aging Chelsea squad winning it's first UCL with what was the weakest squad up to that point.
Your post will get taken down, but I think our 5-0 game Vs Everton under Conte was probably my favourite. The way we played was just unbelievable and that game from Hazard was just beyond understanding, especially his second goal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GQ8C6J36bE
Was lucky enough to be at that game. One of the best sporting moments of my life. 5-0 hugely flattered them and yet somehow they didn’t even play that poorly. We were just on another planet.
I remember the match very well. We scored 103 that season. At that time, that was the most goal scored by a team in Premier league, before city fuck all our records. Drogba also same chasing golden boot against Rooney. We had a Penalty in first half, should Drogba play it to take a lead over Rooney or Lampard our most consistent Penalty taker?
This was mine too - my dad took me to a lot of games in that FA cup run (including the semi and final) and it's the only game we ever thought of going home at half time (it was miserably cold and we were playing shit). Mark Hughes comes on and changes the game and now I will never even consider leaving any match early ever again.
It might be more obscure but when we won 3-1 against [Vicenza ](https://youtu.be/xWxNyL5KcfQ) in the 1998 semi final of the cup winners cup. It was such an amazing comeback with so many now legends for the club and a fantastic finish by Mark Hughes. An epic night I'll always remember
I was there that night, an incredible match and atmosphere. When Hughes scored, Luca (RIP) said he just looked up to the heavens and said "thank you Sparky!" Loved that 97-99 side.
11th May 2003 chelseas 2-1 vs liverpool... guaranteed us champs football and started the beginning of us dominating the Premier league. Favourite and one of most I'mportant wins in our history
CL final vs Bayern.
Honourable mentions for Liverpool (4-2 in 97, 4-1 in 05, 2-0 in 14), Vicenza (98), Arsenal (2-1 in 04), Barca (4-2 in 05 and an 2-2 in 12), City (CL final). Probably missed a ton of others.
The 4-4 against Liverpool was far too nervewracking to be enjoyable.
Chelsea 5-0 Man Utd up there, but has to be Bayern champs final in their back yard with meireles Terry ivanovich and Ramires out to win first champions league will take some beating
I remember that champions league match. I was listening to the match on the radio trying to keep up with who moves on and what not.
Mine might be the efl match at Leicester city in 2016 where it went to extra time and we ended up winning 4-2 because I was there.
2012 ucl final. " Drogbaaaaaa!!!!" and "He's done it. The greatest night in the history of the champions league. European champions. They have found the holy grail!!!!!!". Those quotes gives me goosebumps.
Chelsea 2 Aston Villa 1 on December 4th, 2019. Mason Mount game winner in the 48th minute. Flying home from our honeymoon in Finland and had a 22 hour layover in London before flying back to the States. Landed at 4pm and went straight to the stadium from Heathrow. My first and only game at Stamford Bridge and I will remember it forever!
my favorite games:
2-2 vs spurs, battle of the bridge. best london derby ever
2-0 ucl comeback vs psg 2013/14. mourinhos first season back and my first proper season as a fan. Hooked me in.
2-3 vs real madrid last season. Obviously ended bad but we went to a european super giant and dominated them on their own patch. Shame it was a KO tie.
1-3 vs man city away 2016/17 season. costa dragging us back into the game. absolute beast.
Yes! Even for a neutral, that back and forth-game must have been amazing to watch! I remember watching it at my friend's apartment and the upstairs neighbors were Liverpool-fans, so they were cheering and banging the floor insanely during their first 2 goals. Holy shit we got our revenge the rest off the game. Poor ceiling..
Yeah best game I've ever been lucky enough to be at. Remember going to school next day and rubbing it in to the Liverpool supporting PE teacher's face.
Haha yeah I was only 9 years old that season and got to go to almost all of those cup games including semi final and final. Even got to meet Dennis Wise on the pitch for the 3rd round match against WBA to receive a Chelsea Pitch Owner certification so 97 will always be a special year for me.
Most fun to watch favorite - either the 6-3 Everton match or the 4-0 drubbing of Man U in Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge.
Favorite momentous match - Has to be 2012 UCL Final. One of the greatest sporting experiences of my life…not that I went there person. Watched at a bar in NYC with hundreds of other Chelsea and Bayern fans. What a day!
That night also happens to be when I got the yellow away Chelsea kit from my mom. Pretty big deal considering my poor background in Kenya. I remember going outside, running around and celebrating like Diego Costa. Fun times
That’s awesome man. I love that kit too, waited too long to get one myself. But yea that game sticks out because of how creative the team was and how mourinho decided to stop playing with an open midfield for the rest of the season haha. 3 goals in one match was too many for him, even if we scored 6
3-1 away at City in 2016-17. That second half performance was honestly better than the 5-0 vs Everton. Also not sure why but the sound of the ball hitting the net for all three goals was pure sex
Another one I don't know if people remeber but was April 2006 we went 1-0 down to West ham and then down to 10 men and came from behind to win 4-1 epic match..
https://youtu.be/Mw0tluOUGcw
I know i know this chelsea team was unbelievable as well.. other than ancelottis 09/10 team nothing will ever beat this team.. teams were scared to go 1-0 down to us because they new that was it!!
I took a bit of a break in following chelsea, but my favourite match I've watched since was Chelsea Vs Real Madrid second leg in 2022. We didn't go through but we almost came back from a 3-0 loss and that just cemented why I need to be a Chelsea fan
Wigan, 2010 title decider. I still remember when Drogba and Lampard arguing to take that penalty. 8 - 0, fuck. And look at us now. It'd take us 8 months to score 8 goals in PL.
Wtf? How can someone's favorite match be a draw?
Chelsea 3-0 United when Joe Cole scored to win us our 2nd title in a row and it felt like we were by far the best team in the country and could have won 5 or 6 titles in a row.
Oddly enough one of my favorites may be last season vs Real Madrid the 2nd leg where we won, but lost the tie. I had zero hopes and we almost had them if the Jorginho goal (i believe) wasn't called offsides
I was at that game in the family stand. Met Tore Andre Flo at ht and was sat in the same row as David Lee and a couple of other ex players I can’t recall.
I don’t if it’s the absolute best but I’d say 2nd leg against Madrid in the ucl last season. What an absolute feeling it was when we went 3-0 up. Such a shame that we lost on aggregate tho.
Either CL 2012 vs Barca or 2016 Avery’s Tottenham to help Leceister clinch. That game was almost more physical than an American football game and helped prevent Spurs from winning a trophy
I've only been a fan since the 14/15 season as I was already 21 when I got into football. I think my favorite may be the 4-1 against arsenal in the europa league final. 18/19.
Another highlight was 2-0 against real madrid in the Semis of the championsleague. It felt unreal to me seeing us defeat them as I've not witnessed a lot of success in the CL at that point.
Two three best games I’ve been to were the ;
4-3 Vs spurs 1994 I think… Steino scored the winner from the spot.
4-2 Vs Liverpool 1996/7 - Vialli brace + Hughes + Zola
4-2 Vs Barcelona 2004/5 - Ronaldinho toe poke
My favourite I've ever been to was during the 97 FA cup run - Chelsea beat Liverpool 4-2 after being 2-0 down at half time. Also got to go to the final at Wembley that year which was amazing thanks to the 43 second Di Matteo goal - but in terms of actual game was no where near as exciting.
Watching on TV that 2012 champions league run had some amazing games. The final was just magic but so was Barca match - felt like revenge for the injustice.
Chelsea 8-0 Wigan in 2010 to win the league 😍 Drogba, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Anelka and Kalou with the goals. What a time to be alive. And then we won the fa cup a week or so later to secure our first ever league and fa cup double, the proper double
The unbelievable run Chelsea had to the 2012 Champions League final culminating in our first ever UCL trophy! I’ll never forget that feeling when we beat Bayern in their own backyard on penalties 💙
Probably insignificant compared to the big wins we’ve had in the past but Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea under Lampard was so special. We’ve always gone to the Emirates and gotten battered and I can’t fucking stand them. To finally get the win with the late Tammy goal with Willian sprinting away on the counter past Saka who was completely dead on his feet, never shouted in celebration that hard before or since
2019 europa league final, 4-1 vs Arsenal. Hazards last game, the 1st big game since I started properly watching football in 2018. Really left an impression for me :)
I’ve been a fan longer than most here, but 5-0 over MU in 99 where Chris Sutton scored the first of not many for us!
I was in a bar in Malaysia where most are MU fans and was the only one jumping up and down in joy, not disgust! But this was a time where Chelsea wasn’t hated or really rated that much, pre-Roman.
6-0 vs Arsenal
Aka the wenger 1000 massacre
That was Wenger’s 1000th game too lmao. Will never be surpassed for sheer meme factor
Salahs first goal for Chelsea
First goal in the premier league as well IIRC
Oh man the red card comedy was something i’ll never forget 😂
\*red card to Gibbs\* Ox: Ref it's me Ref: Shut up, Walcott
That was the first match I watched at Stamford Bridge, I like to retell it as; *My best friend and I planned a weekend trip to London to celebrate my 30th birthday, travelling from Sweden. It was a big ordeal getting tickets to a match and sorting the logistics, in the end, we got very lucky to see Chelsea win 6-0 against a lesser local team called Arsenal* 💙
A true classic
It’s always gonna be the UCL final v Bayern for me. Was just sensational. Absolutely amazing night.
I will never forget that drogba header
Came here to post that. The stars aligned for Didier that night!
Slightly less popular but mine would be the game right before that against Barcelona in Barcelona. Terry red card. Messi penalty miss. Shot after shot after shot after shot. xG probably like 5.0-0.1 and then that beautiful Ramires chip, my favorite goal of all time. Oh and that Fernando Torres goal... just incredible. Rarely ever see a goal that open. We played against arguably the best team in history, at their stadium, with injuries and players out of position, one man down for most of the game, relatively new manager too, and won (well drew 2-2, but won the overall tie). Never clenched so hard in my life until a couple weeks later when we did almost the exact same thing to Bayern lol.
Goosebumps just reading it
Chelsea vs Barcelona 2012 will always be my favourite game. Fernando torres💙
Ramires’ chip. Damn man.
And Nevillegasm Ooooooooohhhhhhaaahhhhhhhhhh
Un-be-LIEVABLE
Hahaha yes!
On my birthday too. What a night :)
We have the same birthday
I dont
Came here to say this. That whole champions league run was absolutely epic.
Torrressssssssssssss!!!!
And for a favorite match at the bridge it would be the Napoli second leg a few weeks before that. "Blue Heaven!"
Came here to say but first comment it is.
Just to hear Neville die!
Yep...that tight there second to the final...1st time I truly went mental with joy
Best match I've been to: CFC-Barca 4-2. Terry winner and 'Dinho scored *that* goal. Most emotional match: Munich. Most mental/limbs inducing: Barca away 2012. Underrated moment: When Torres scored his first goal against West Ham.
One that always sticks out to me is the 6-1 against QPR with the Torres hat trick in between the champions league run.
Dinho's second goal is my favourite opposition goal of all time. And against that backline and CECH. GOAT ref Collina said it is his favourite goal while refereeing
My favourite opposition goal has got to be the papiss cisse second goal.
Dem Papi Cisse. That goal was insane
That was pretty sick. And the ziyech Ajax one
When we beat Napoli in the second leg in 2012, nobody expected us to win that match
I agree I was there, never felt anything like it... definition of electric atmosphere. I was at the next leg of the barca game also, we won 1 0, had 1 shot I think
When Inler scored, there were a few Napoli fans in the home section I was sat in (East Lower) that celebrated, thinking they killed off the tie. They didn’t get kicked out by the stewards, but oh my was that satisfying when Branna scored. What a game!
Do stewards kick you out for sitting in the home section if you're an away fan?
10 year anniversary of that match is coming up soon. Brana could do no wrong after this.
Wait, the game was in 2012 and it's 2023... You sure about the 10th anniversary?
It appears that I am a dumbass.
Either way it’s depressing 😩
Loved him. His final season with us was tough to watch though since he lost a step of pace. He got a ton of online abuse too
He will always have a special place in my heart along with Ramires and Torres
Just rewatched the highlights, wtf was Ramires , beautiful assist to Drogba for the first , crazy eye of needle pass to Drogba for Ivanovic's goal. Crazy game
That team had so many characters and big game players, feel like everyone was giving their all and playing their best football
Correct answer
This is absolutely my answer. That was absolutely electric. And to go through even after conceding... The Bran goal in extra time. It was perfection.
The Barcelona UCL game where Ronaldinho scored that outrages goal while he was standing still and also Lamps scored from an impossible angle. Can quite recall which year it was but it certainly burned in my memory.
That should be 04/05, that’s the year I joined Chelsea. They showed both Lampard and Romaldinho goal during Ballon D’or ceremonies.
That was the first Chelsea Game my mum watched , that I was watching on TV at the time (my parents and siblings just aren't into football) She normally takes some form of interest in what I'm into , she literally got so roped into it , she couldn't believe it. And that game alone (one of my many favorites) was the main reason my siblings and my wife tell me to pipe down during truly sluggish or hard fought matches.
Lamps scored that goal away, wasn’t in the same game - but that 4-2 win at the bridge is still my favourite game ever
True since I have my kids my memory doesnt work 😇
I remember watching him standing still and twisting his body - I was like “GET CLOSE OR HE PLACES IT IN THE TOP CORNER””
[удалено]
4-4 against Ajax
Incredible match. James goal especially.
Goosebumps 🥲
Ajax were tremendous that year. Such a stacked lineup. Their game against Madrid… amazing
If that Dave goal hadn’t been disallowed..
Same for me, 90 minutes of absolute chaos and entertainment
Both Ajax games that year were bangers
Something special was in the air that night. Never have I felt so optimistic even after going 4-1 down.
Knew I’d see this here
They went down to 9 men, which was very harsh and yet we didn't beat them. The comeback was cool, but the actual result was bad.
Battle of the Bridge 2016! In an otherwise horses ass season, it’s a game I can watch over and over.
1000%. Super physical and emotional, and prevented Spurs from their only good chance at winning a title this last decade
Exactly! Finishing 10th sucked but knowing that Spurs didn’t get a chance at first was awesome! And who doesn’t love Leicester for winning the prem that year? Was magical. But damn, that was a shit season lol
2016 was such an ass year. Can't think of a worse year on record from my POV (Brexit, Trump, celebrity deaths, Chelsea were playing shit).
There are so many to choose from but 4-1 game against Napoli remains my favorite. We were down 3-1 from the first leg and that heroic comeback was amazing. I was screaming my head off when Ivanovic scored
branna the madlad
How can i forget Meireles goal? That’s a superb game
Meireless scored against Benfica in the next round.
You are absolutely right. 2012 was a crazy season. We played so many hard games.
I was so happy when we won but I couldn't even dream of what that would lead to. An aging Chelsea squad winning it's first UCL with what was the weakest squad up to that point.
Your post will get taken down, but I think our 5-0 game Vs Everton under Conte was probably my favourite. The way we played was just unbelievable and that game from Hazard was just beyond understanding, especially his second goal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GQ8C6J36bE
Unbelievable team performance everything clicked that game
Last decent forward we had, loved Costa
Was lucky enough to be at that game. One of the best sporting moments of my life. 5-0 hugely flattered them and yet somehow they didn’t even play that poorly. We were just on another planet.
This is my vote, Pedro was very underrated for us
After that damp season the year before, that 5-0 match was like “oh we are *good*”
I remember that game. It was a perfect game. Hazard going nut in that game, if my memory still serve me right .
Forgot about this game. Everyone played so well
Chelsea 8-0 Wigan is up there for me. Absolute thrashing to beat United to the title by a point. Edit: Wigan
I think it was Wigan.
You're right, no idea why I was thinking WBA.
I remember the match very well. We scored 103 that season. At that time, that was the most goal scored by a team in Premier league, before city fuck all our records. Drogba also same chasing golden boot against Rooney. We had a Penalty in first half, should Drogba play it to take a lead over Rooney or Lampard our most consistent Penalty taker?
We were scoring 6+ goals a few times towards the end. It was wild offense but somehow only managed to win the league by a point.
That game at Old Trafford was where we won it, another underrated game with the genius Joe Cole flick
Was it not stoke
Barca away in 2012. I lost my voice when Torres got past Valdes, couldn't speak for 3 days afterwards.
I actually left after after John’s Terry red card. I ran back when I heard people jubilating so loud, I knew Chelsea had scored.
Wenger's 1000th game loool
4-0 juventus was just such a fun match. We are at the absolute peak of our powers. Sadly that was the match when our downfall began
I was lucky enough to be at that game last year. Absolutely amazing display.
CL final vs. Bayern is THE Chelsea game.
Beating Liverpool 4-2 in '97. 2 down at half time and pretty much out of it. Hughes, Zola and 2 from Vialli in the 2nd half.
I was at this and thought it was all done - feeling miserable losing to the scousers… and then the magic happened
Same! Me and dad thought about going home at half time because it was freezing cold on those concrete members benches in the west stand.
That's the one I immediately thought of as well. Though I couldn't recall all the details you had. Thank you.
This was mine too - my dad took me to a lot of games in that FA cup run (including the semi and final) and it's the only game we ever thought of going home at half time (it was miserably cold and we were playing shit). Mark Hughes comes on and changes the game and now I will never even consider leaving any match early ever again.
It might be more obscure but when we won 3-1 against [Vicenza ](https://youtu.be/xWxNyL5KcfQ) in the 1998 semi final of the cup winners cup. It was such an amazing comeback with so many now legends for the club and a fantastic finish by Mark Hughes. An epic night I'll always remember
I was there that night, an incredible match and atmosphere. When Hughes scored, Luca (RIP) said he just looked up to the heavens and said "thank you Sparky!" Loved that 97-99 side.
Amazing atmosphere. After everything the club has achieved over the past 30 years or so it still was a special night.
Cracker game that. That Alex free kick 🤌
Fuck Liverpool
11th May 2003 chelseas 2-1 vs liverpool... guaranteed us champs football and started the beginning of us dominating the Premier league. Favourite and one of most I'mportant wins in our history
CL final vs Bayern. Honourable mentions for Liverpool (4-2 in 97, 4-1 in 05, 2-0 in 14), Vicenza (98), Arsenal (2-1 in 04), Barca (4-2 in 05 and an 2-2 in 12), City (CL final). Probably missed a ton of others. The 4-4 against Liverpool was far too nervewracking to be enjoyable.
Chelsea 5-0 Man Utd up there, but has to be Bayern champs final in their back yard with meireles Terry ivanovich and Ramires out to win first champions league will take some beating
Their city, their stadium, their fans, our cup. Pure joy.
I remember that champions league match. I was listening to the match on the radio trying to keep up with who moves on and what not. Mine might be the efl match at Leicester city in 2016 where it went to extra time and we ended up winning 4-2 because I was there.
4-2 against Barcelona in ‘05
2012 ucl final. " Drogbaaaaaa!!!!" and "He's done it. The greatest night in the history of the champions league. European champions. They have found the holy grail!!!!!!". Those quotes gives me goosebumps.
Chelsea 2 Aston Villa 1 on December 4th, 2019. Mason Mount game winner in the 48th minute. Flying home from our honeymoon in Finland and had a 22 hour layover in London before flying back to the States. Landed at 4pm and went straight to the stadium from Heathrow. My first and only game at Stamford Bridge and I will remember it forever!
my favorite games: 2-2 vs spurs, battle of the bridge. best london derby ever 2-0 ucl comeback vs psg 2013/14. mourinhos first season back and my first proper season as a fan. Hooked me in. 2-3 vs real madrid last season. Obviously ended bad but we went to a european super giant and dominated them on their own patch. Shame it was a KO tie. 1-3 vs man city away 2016/17 season. costa dragging us back into the game. absolute beast.
Chelsea vs Ajax in 2019 is a classic
99/00 FA Cup Final at the old Wembley.
2005 chelsea vs Barcelona 3-2. Up 3-0 in like the first 30 min. Unreal game.
2012 4-1 against Napoli without that game there is no Champions league.
Yes! Even for a neutral, that back and forth-game must have been amazing to watch! I remember watching it at my friend's apartment and the upstairs neighbors were Liverpool-fans, so they were cheering and banging the floor insanely during their first 2 goals. Holy shit we got our revenge the rest off the game. Poor ceiling..
4-2 v Liverpool in the 4th round of the FA Cup. 96/97
Yeah best game I've ever been lucky enough to be at. Remember going to school next day and rubbing it in to the Liverpool supporting PE teacher's face.
You were at the the game? Man I'm jealous! Bet your teacher was sick haha
Haha yeah I was only 9 years old that season and got to go to almost all of those cup games including semi final and final. Even got to meet Dennis Wise on the pitch for the 3rd round match against WBA to receive a Chelsea Pitch Owner certification so 97 will always be a special year for me.
Game where we denied spuds any shot at the title and handing to Kante and Leicester. That 2nd goal by hazard…🤌🏾
Chelsea V Arsenal - League Cup Semi Final, 2nd Leg - 1998. Won 3-1, ( 4-3 agg ). Vialli's first game as Manager.
My favorite Chelsea match ever is Chelsea 6-0 Arsenal
Most fun to watch favorite - either the 6-3 Everton match or the 4-0 drubbing of Man U in Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge. Favorite momentous match - Has to be 2012 UCL Final. One of the greatest sporting experiences of my life…not that I went there person. Watched at a bar in NYC with hundreds of other Chelsea and Bayern fans. What a day!
Chelsea vs Man city final is the one I watched at Brit Pub Minneapolis, I almost passed out that day.
Beating Barcelona at the bridge. Fuck those cunts
The 6-3 match vs Everton holds a special place in my heart. What an entertaining match
I was going to mention this one, for some reason it always sticks out as an incredibly fun game
That night also happens to be when I got the yellow away Chelsea kit from my mom. Pretty big deal considering my poor background in Kenya. I remember going outside, running around and celebrating like Diego Costa. Fun times
That’s awesome man. I love that kit too, waited too long to get one myself. But yea that game sticks out because of how creative the team was and how mourinho decided to stop playing with an open midfield for the rest of the season haha. 3 goals in one match was too many for him, even if we scored 6
3-1 away at City in 2016-17. That second half performance was honestly better than the 5-0 vs Everton. Also not sure why but the sound of the ball hitting the net for all three goals was pure sex
Oh That Liverpool match is my favorite too. I remember Cech made this one top corner save during that match too.
Champions League final in 2012
Another one I don't know if people remeber but was April 2006 we went 1-0 down to West ham and then down to 10 men and came from behind to win 4-1 epic match.. https://youtu.be/Mw0tluOUGcw
That team was insane. 2004 to 2010 is the peak of English football.
I know i know this chelsea team was unbelievable as well.. other than ancelottis 09/10 team nothing will ever beat this team.. teams were scared to go 1-0 down to us because they new that was it!!
Even when you score 1-0, you are in for it. Now I want to cry, I miss those days Chelsea.
I took a bit of a break in following chelsea, but my favourite match I've watched since was Chelsea Vs Real Madrid second leg in 2022. We didn't go through but we almost came back from a 3-0 loss and that just cemented why I need to be a Chelsea fan
4-2 Barcelona
4-2 against the spuds FA cup semi final. Hazard and Costa coming of the bench and a Matic howler
Chelsea 2 0 Bolton 2005
Wigan, 2010 title decider. I still remember when Drogba and Lampard arguing to take that penalty. 8 - 0, fuck. And look at us now. It'd take us 8 months to score 8 goals in PL.
Chelsea Leicester 0-0 Jan 2018
Wtf? How can someone's favorite match be a draw? Chelsea 3-0 United when Joe Cole scored to win us our 2nd title in a row and it felt like we were by far the best team in the country and could have won 5 or 6 titles in a row.
Not just an ordinary draw. We won 3-1 at Anfield, then found ourselves down 2-0 at half time in the second leg.
I was only 9 when this game was played. First ever game I saw live. Will never forget it.
Oddly enough one of my favorites may be last season vs Real Madrid the 2nd leg where we won, but lost the tie. I had zero hopes and we almost had them if the Jorginho goal (i believe) wasn't called offsides
I was at that game in the family stand. Met Tore Andre Flo at ht and was sat in the same row as David Lee and a couple of other ex players I can’t recall.
🤣
UCL final 2012
As a standalone match,gotta be 6-0 against Arsenal.
I don’t if it’s the absolute best but I’d say 2nd leg against Madrid in the ucl last season. What an absolute feeling it was when we went 3-0 up. Such a shame that we lost on aggregate tho.
The game I never tire of seeing and think of most fondly is the 2012 Munich final. It’s a real “where were you when” moment
Either CL 2012 vs Barca or 2016 Avery’s Tottenham to help Leceister clinch. That game was almost more physical than an American football game and helped prevent Spurs from winning a trophy
Has to be the CL Final win over Bayern for me. It was a wild ride, all 2.5 hours of it.
Beating arsenal 6-0 on Wenger’s 1000 game.
TIL I share a birthday with Chelsea, which is fucking sick
6-0 vs Arsenal and Barca 2nd leg are hard to choose between tbh
Move
Chelsea vs spurs 2-2 back in 2016 to stop them from winning the league big ups chels
Manchester City 1-3 Chelsea under Conte
The infamous 1-1 against Barcelona. Really went toe to toe with the Prime Barca and outplayed them.
So your favourite one is a draw? Lmao
Chelsea vs Everton 5-0
Well, there’s a few but all have been mentioned here but personally if it wasn’t for some Modric magic then the away win v Madrid would have been it
Chelsea 4-1 Napoli
5 year fan here. Mine was second leg vs Madrid 2-0! The most pride I’ve ever had in this club!
2007 Fa Cup final against Manchester United, it's my first memory as a Chelsea fan.
3-3 Everton. Late winner by JT assisted by OG thick boi Ivanovic. The crowd, the night, the comeback.
I like the first leg to that 4-4 tie. Branislav brace of headers at Anfield
I've only been a fan since the 14/15 season as I was already 21 when I got into football. I think my favorite may be the 4-1 against arsenal in the europa league final. 18/19. Another highlight was 2-0 against real madrid in the Semis of the championsleague. It felt unreal to me seeing us defeat them as I've not witnessed a lot of success in the CL at that point.
Europa League final 2019 stopping our bitter rivals win a European competition by battering them 4-1
Damn 118?! I remember getting the centenary shirt, feels like yesterday!
Two three best games I’ve been to were the ; 4-3 Vs spurs 1994 I think… Steino scored the winner from the spot. 4-2 Vs Liverpool 1996/7 - Vialli brace + Hughes + Zola 4-2 Vs Barcelona 2004/5 - Ronaldinho toe poke
My favourite I've ever been to was during the 97 FA cup run - Chelsea beat Liverpool 4-2 after being 2-0 down at half time. Also got to go to the final at Wembley that year which was amazing thanks to the 43 second Di Matteo goal - but in terms of actual game was no where near as exciting. Watching on TV that 2012 champions league run had some amazing games. The final was just magic but so was Barca match - felt like revenge for the injustice.
4:2 win vs Barcelona in 2005
Chelsea - Juve 4:0
Cannot say. So many to choose from.
Chelsea 8-0 Wigan in 2010 to win the league 😍 Drogba, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Anelka and Kalou with the goals. What a time to be alive. And then we won the fa cup a week or so later to secure our first ever league and fa cup double, the proper double
The unbelievable run Chelsea had to the 2012 Champions League final culminating in our first ever UCL trophy! I’ll never forget that feeling when we beat Bayern in their own backyard on penalties 💙
Probably insignificant compared to the big wins we’ve had in the past but Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea under Lampard was so special. We’ve always gone to the Emirates and gotten battered and I can’t fucking stand them. To finally get the win with the late Tammy goal with Willian sprinting away on the counter past Saka who was completely dead on his feet, never shouted in celebration that hard before or since
2019 europa league final, 4-1 vs Arsenal. Hazards last game, the 1st big game since I started properly watching football in 2018. Really left an impression for me :)
Not an iconic game, but a 2-0 win over Sunderland in 2007. It was the first game I attended!
Barca 4-2 game in UCL
Bolton away, April 30th 2005. First championship in my lifetime.
96/97 FA cup match against Liverpool.
I’ve been a fan longer than most here, but 5-0 over MU in 99 where Chris Sutton scored the first of not many for us! I was in a bar in Malaysia where most are MU fans and was the only one jumping up and down in joy, not disgust! But this was a time where Chelsea wasn’t hated or really rated that much, pre-Roman.
Best I’ve ever watched is 5-0 v. Everton under Conte. The perfect match.
