The Blues made a top four finish following the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in the latter stages of last season. They have begun this season on a sensational note winning the UEFA Super Cup.

Hours before their game against Palace, fans in Nigeria are already salivating and anticipating the fixture.

Popular Fuji icon Saheed Osupa was seen in a clip praising ‘his club’ for their 2012 and 2021 Champions League triumphs.

While performing with his live band at an event, ‘Saridon P’ as he is fondly called said:

“They said N’Golo Kante was the man of the match. We defeated (Real) Madrid the day we reached the final. We first won the Champions League in 2012. It reached 2021 before it got to our turn again.
“Some clubs are yet to win the title, yet they keep bragging all these years, now you see Chelsea are champions once again.”

Recall that Chelsea defeated Spanish club Real Madrid in the semifinal of the Champions League as both legs ended 3-1 on aggregates in favour of Thomas Tuchel's side.

The Blues went on to pip Manchester City 1-0 in the final courtesy a 42nd minute strike by Kai Havertz to win the prestigious title for a second time.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Premier League club Arsenal are starting the 2021-22 campaign on a worrying note as about six of their first team stars could miss their opening game against Brentford, Mirror reports.

The Gunners are playing away from home on Friday evening and manager Mikel Arteta will be in panic mode as some first team players are sent to miss the trip.

Injury concerns as well as other doubts now leave the Gunners concerned despite that their squad was strengthened with three new signings this summer.
