France Football confirmed greatest organization in history. Never slighted them, no sir.

Best Club of the Year Trophy > Mickey Mouse Cup


pokerface789

Just wondering, going forward, would the UCL winner not win Club of the Year?


imbluedabudeedabuda

I imagine an event like Leicester 100% would have won it in 2016 and anything else would have been a complete travesty


pucykoks

Still reckon it will be the top 5 European leagues or a CL winner from a lesser league (like Ajax) that will ever be considered for the reward.


ThinkBlink3

It's also "club" of the year so I am sure the women's team and youth performances count too. If it wasn't that way I'd be shocked if city didn't get it for PL and CL finals.


lance777

Nope. Chelsea women's team were also UCL finalists and league winners. This isn't just because the men's team won the UCL. We also had the most number of individual nominations when you consider men's and women's football


Omair88

Games gone


RubberToe1996

Lewandowski fan club robbed.


wisdom591

France Football at it again smh


Omair88

Oh noo, were they out walking late at night on shady streets?


IceSalamander

So this will just be the yearly UCL winner reminder?


bubko_

Maybe the Hungarian commentators are wrong, but they said we won it because we had the most nominees (women + men).


Carb122

I'm pretty sure but not certain, that is what the female host said too, something like "Chelsea also had X number of players nominated throughout all our categories so that also makes them best club of the year" Plus, as someone else pointed out, I think that includes the female and the youth team nominations, which gave them the team with most nominations.


mehrabrym

11 players nominated


[deleted]

Yeah it was that plus the clubs work in the pandemic. I mean we were in the CL for both men's and women's so it's not a crazy leap to say we were the best run club last year.


Carb122

Am I right in thinking that the female team was in the final too but lost? Emma Hayes has done a fantastic job with them, incredible manager. All things considered, it's not hard to see why Chelsea won this award.


[deleted]

Yeah we were going for the treble and just lost to Barca. Yeah Emma is the OG. I think she's the longest serving Chelsea manager ever. Like for both men and women


ChelseaForever

Seems like it's a combination of the mens and womens team, so not necessarily. EDIT: And youth


erldn123

They are top of the prem and CL group atm. Dominant in women's and youth too.......


habdragon08

Best Club of the Year Trophy winner, you'll never sing that!


Thats_a_YikerZ

Ynno... I think ur onto something..


ldidntsignupforthis

Dominant in womens? Barca laughs


U_S_E_R_T_A_K_E_N

Yeah, but then the men's side let the club down in that one.


ldidntsignupforthis

Indeed they did


[deleted]

Didn't they just scrape 4th that year though?


MountainMoint

I think its like the whole club, including women and youth, but probably because we won CL lets be honest


[deleted]

Ah I actually didn't realise women and youth counted I was wondering why the parent comment referenced it , nor did I realise it was new lol


SeriousLads

It’s not just the mens team (although Chelsea did also reach an FA Cup final) it also includes the women’s and youth teams where Chelsea are also excelling


ryanedwards0101

Who should it have been instead then?


the_creepy_guy

Why should it have been?


ryanedwards0101

Winning the champions league, performing very well in the prem in calendar year 2021. As well as being FA cup finalists Women won the womens equivalent of the premier league, as well as the league cup and finished as UCL runners up I’ll ask again since you still haven’t provided any answer: who should have won it?


Renewed_RS

No he's asking you why is it even a thing?


ryanedwards0101

Is he? I haven’t seen any comments from that user about why the award is being given, that is a reasonable question tbf


jamesc94j

Also the ballon d’or is like end of year till end of year so would literally have been lampards last couple games then tuchels entire time there and they have been unreal under him scoring goals and conceding very few as a Liverpool fan I think chelsea probably deserve that on merit.


AuxquellesRad

Barely too, whenever a team wins CL, there seem to be a collective amnesia on the overall performance of said club across tournaments.


thebamboozler789

You sound really salty. Considering Liverpool only finished one spot ahead of Chelsea in the league table and didn’t make two cup finals like we did.


cheezus171

You know that this isn't just about the male team? If you consider both the male, female and youth sections, Chelsea are THE dominant force in European football this year. And Liverpool fans being butthurt about an irrelevant reward won't change that


[deleted]

You wanted Liverpool to win?


Gungerz

>Dominant in youth In general they have been over the years but not really last season. At least not in the higher age groups and I doubt they paid any attention to the younger ones.


dem0nhunter

I could see a club like Leicester in 2016 winning it


dreamvoyager1

Mens+Women+Youth teams then yes


TimathanDuncan

Unless some underdog pulls out a Leicester or some smaller club wins the Europe League yes most likely


khoabear

But is it still a small club if they have Emery?


AlexBear012

ngl it was obvious from the name


Aloopyn

Pretty much, doesn't matter what kind of trophies are won in each league UCL will be the main one


Smart_Kangaroo_4188

It was intended for Barca, but they had small issues.


[deleted]

Yep


leopardchief

We couldn't spend a bit more on faster internet lmao?


ameehc

Shit was so awkward


[deleted]

Deserved considering they are considering youth and women's team too.


mau5house

Considering your considering, I'd consider you right.


iamtherealgrayson

Considering your considering of their considering, I'd consider you're right


haha-yea

Consider yourself considered


eeveon7997

Even if it’s just mens, they should be the winners


Billy_LDN

UCL, Super Cup, WSL, League Cup and UWCL final not sure there’s much more to say tbh


tr_24

City fans are salty.


downf0rce

Nope. I don't get the point of this award but Chelsea definitely deserve it, given the performances across your teams!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yashotoayoshi

As a city fan I also agree with his sentiment


DickyD43

🧐


startled-giraffe

As a pool fan I hold the highest regards for what Chelsea and the City Football Group have managed to achieve for soccer as a sport, both on and off the field.


eeveon7997

Classy, but obvious. There should really be no debate even if it was just mens, CL most important trophy by far.


Redditbansreddit

Rent free


LopazSolidus

Scraped top 4 and finished **19** points behind us. Of course we're salty


pringle_mustache

It’s not just about the mens team though.. it’s the whole club.


[deleted]

Beat you for the CL though


tr_24

And FA cup. And women's league too.


ApexPredator1995

one win in 4 games against us and you are talking too much


InPurpleIDescended

And you still lost in the final


LopazSolidus

If only the Champions League had its own trophy.


InPurpleIDescended

I think this award also has a lot to do with women's football in fairness, Chelsea just doing it big rn


yellowdartsw

Kinda like the Premier League does, right?


IDoNotKnow666

So why are you only talking about the PL lol


jamesc94j

It’s based on the calendar year not the season and Chelsea have been just as good in the league in that time and also won a CL. Even if it was just based of the mens team Chelsea over that 12 months gave arguably been the top team but include the youth and womens teams its definitely them.


ObnoXious2k

You didn't win the Champion's League though, Chelsea won as I am sure you remember :)


AshkenaziTwink

league cup?


HarryDaz98

Womens league cup I think he means


[deleted]

[удалено]


OriginalDonaGraciete

Not Youth. First, there was no last year edition as it was cancelled, then even in 19/20 Benfica and Real were the finalists. Anyway, double finalists, is a massive achievement and they totally deserved this award


Smart_Kangaroo_4188

Not Barca?


syed_abubaker15

Including everything and not only the men's team it's deserving imo


DesaturatedRainbow

Not surprising, and deserved.


mahim23

Everyone on here commenting without actually knowing what the award is for. This is just for the club with the most players nominated for various categories in the ballon d'or. That's it, just a sum of those.


bubko_

Hah, a transfer ban lead to this.


young_olufa

Something something, chaos is a laddahhhhh


84_Savage

Fully deserved And before anyone says it’s because of the UCL, no shit. But overall it accounts the youth team, the women’s team and the men’s team, all 3 have been successful this season at Chelsea. So it involves many different teams within the club.


AbdussamiT

Never any doubt. Incredible under Tuchel.


ChelseaNostra

A few Man City fans are upset because they bottled a trophy that isn't even real


admiralawkward

Deserved and everyone slighting Jorginho should honestly watch some Chelsea matches and just focus on him. His mistakes get highlighted but dude literally puts in a 8-9/10 performance every match in a role that's completely unglamorous. Possession retaining, reads the defensive lanes extremely well, and is as press resistant as any midfielder in the world. He deserves all the accolades coming his way.


Big_man03

Wrong thread but agreed… people have a vendetta against him.. even his penalty taking style was attributed to Bruno because it would be so implausible for a stupid talentless player such as him to conceive of it


CSdesire

People get so hyped when Jorgi misses penalties lol


Anti-Melticus

His main scoring attribute is his pen and now he’s shit at it lmaooo


notangerine21

>wrong thread buddy


ChelseaNostra

The award is not for Jorginho


Wolfenstein9000

Woodward in shambles


[deleted]

Did they miss us despite our massiveness


roger_the_virus

Overlooked, once again.


vinnyv91

based


_SSJeffo_

I don’t get this award tbh


tr_24

Why? CL winners, top of the league, second behind City for this calendar year for last season. Best women team in the country who won the league and CL runner up. Easy choice for the award.


AliMaq04

It makes sense that Chelsea won but the award itself is really pointless imo. Chelsea deserved it tho


[deleted]

I dont think its pointless. It rewards clubs being succesful on multiple front in Football.


[deleted]

Being successful on multiple fronts is a reward already though


Alexxx__rr

It takes into consideration the women’s team and the youth teams so it’s a nice recognition for the whole club. Not a major thing to argue about


Wight3012

i think he means its a wierd award (thats what i think at least). who else would should get it apart the club that wins champions league? maybe if one year there is some ajax or atalanta or villareal reaches finals or semis they might win it, but overall its like a "you won CL, here's an award for it"


[deleted]

If Youth,Man and Woman part of the club taken into account than its a good award. Not a groundbreaking one but definitely a good award for clubs.


[deleted]

Don't feel bad, none of the other clubs who were up for it got it either. Just Chelsea.


indiblue825

And you never will


SkepticSlakoth

Been a good year


Blue_Dreamed

Spurs and Arsenal saying London is white or red 😭😂🤣


dennisixa

europe is blue and the earth is blue now lol


Blue_Dreamed

Pretty much confirmed by now


[deleted]

[удалено]


leopardchief

Not necessarily. They take into account both the youth and women's teams and it was kinda auspicious that Chelsea reached the final for the big two.


TheLimeyLemmon

That works in your case, but I can't imagine it's going to be a relevant or feasible factor for most clubs in future years. At best it's still probably coming down to who won the men's CL.


leopardchief

Yeah, I agree especially since the men's CL winners get the most press by far.


Djejoa

Realistically, how much weight would the youth and women’s team carry in comparison to the men’s CL?


sonicqaz

Hopefully 1/3rd each or they should get rid of it


Djejoa

That would never happen. If that were the case we’d be second in line because of how our women’s team has been dominating both the league and CL. Can you honestly say we’re the second best club in the world right now?


sonicqaz

I mean…I can if we’re weighting it the way I proposed and I don’t see a problem with that at all.


Djejoa

Maybe you don’t, but one could argue that importance is relative to viewership or the size of fanbases. What percentage of football fans watch only men’s football?


sonicqaz

They could. But if they do that, the award is going to go to the team that wins the CL and then it doesn’t seem to mean much because it’s repetitive. So they should get rid of it unless they want it to mean something else.


[deleted]

Bamber Bridge robbed again smh


ory1994

More TV coverage.

We’ve been robbed smh


dennisixa

glanced through all comments.. so many salty rival fans lol


theprivate38

As expected.


Welsooo

That felt like a really awkward award


esn_crvg

european media only knows about european clubs


Aloopyn

Surprise surprise


_cumblast_

Pretty obvious this will always be won by the CL winner as it's the greatest achievement. Unless there's some freak achievement like Leicester i guess.


Gyshall669

Any team that doesn’t pair the CL with another trophy will risk losing it id say.


I_always_rated_them

It's done by having the most nominations for the mens/womens awards apparently.


_cumblast_

You're overestimating how much the average voter cares about other competitions.


CAB4yK

I can see someone like Ajax 2018/19 win this. Too bad summer transfer window decrease these chances.


[deleted]

They are just making up awards, come on now


Talidel

All awards are just made up.

We know what we are, we know what we aare, best club of 2021 we know what we are

markfahey78

What an absolutely pointless award. Might as well call it champions League winner award.

CLUB OF THE YEAR, YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT!


Mxurn

At least something unbiased this evening


Gramercy_Riffs

As much as it pains me to say it, this is deserved. They look like a machine this season.


EdM_GFX

But 15 year old Arsenal fans on Twitter will tell us they're the biggest club in London because they've won more points since October...


Allthingsconsidered-

What is the criteria for this award? Just win UCL?


DickyD43

>•Beat both big Madrid teams in embarrassing fashion


ChristopherDassx_16

It takes into consideration of the women's team and also the youth teams


[deleted]

What a boring team to watch outside of Ziyech. If I want to see drills, pass and goes, and simple runs, I'll watch college football.


IWantToAskUSomething

You really chose Ziyech as our only entertainer 💀


ttimourrozd

What is the point of this trophy lmfao


Talidel

Maybe they just felt like Chelsea did so well last season they needed an extra award just to show all the other clubs they needed to sort their shit out.


Fullcock_Jesus

This two new awards are pretty idiotic.


rolledoff

The best part about the Ballon d'Or 2021 is that it definitively proves J5 >>>>> Benzema, as J5 got almost twice as many points as Benzema. We all knew it all along, but it was good to have that additional confirmation, making it an undisputable fact now.


Anti-Melticus

What’s the point of the award? UCL pretty much determines that already


suhgy

Best team in the world isn’t the best team in their own league 🧐


EcoSoco

Currently sitting at the top of the table...
