Xabi Alonso’s message to Chelsea fans: “Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in world football and it fills me with immense pride to become manager of this great club”.
“From my conversations with the ownership group and sporting leadership, it is clear we share the same ambition. We want to build a team capable of competing consistently at the highest level and fighting for trophies.
‘There is great talent in the squad and huge potential at this football club and it will be my great honour to lead it. Now the focus is on hard work, building the right culture and winning trophies”.
🚨🎙️Ian Wright on how Chelsea got robbed in the Fa Cup Final, multiple penalty appeals turned down by referee Darren England and breaks down the rules behind every controversial incident:
“I don’t care what badge is on the shirt, if that’s at the other end and it’s against Manchester City, people are screaming corruption for a week. Chelsea got robbed today. Absolutely robbed.
The first one on Joao Pedro before halftime? That is not a ‘coming together’. Khusanov doesn’t even attempt to play the ball, he just body-checks him straight through the back. Under the laws, if you impede or charge a player carelessly inside the box without playing the ball, it’s a penalty. Simple. VAR hiding behind ‘subjective contact’ is nonsense.
Then the second-half madness… two penalty appeals in about 10 seconds and somehow none reviewed properly? Doku clips Caicedo while he’s driving into the area, there’s contact, no touch on the ball, and Chelsea players are begging for consistency because we’ve seen softer ones given all season.
And the handball? Don’t even get me started. Enzo Fernández whips the ball in and it strikes O’Reilly’s arm/elbow. People keep saying ‘his arm was tucked in’ but the law also talks about making the body unnaturally bigger and blocking the trajectory of the ball. We’ve literally seen those given in the Premier League this season. So what’s the standard anymore? Every week fans are told something different.
And then AGAIN on Joao Pedro around the 66th minute, Khusanov makes contact from behind as Gusto’s cross comes in and Pedro goes down. Once more, no urgency from VAR. No referee sent to the monitor. Nothing.
That’s three huge moments in one cup final. Three. Chelsea players were looking around like they already knew nobody was helping them today.
If Arsenal or Liverpool got treated like that in a final, football wouldn’t hear the end of it for months. But because it’s City on the other side, everyone suddenly wants to act ‘calm’ and ‘neutral’.
Chelsea didn’t just lose a final… they got officiated out of one.”
🚨 EXCL: Chelsea are internally discussing the possibility of filing an official complaint to the Football Association (FA) after being denied clear penalties.
The referee’s decision has sparked major frustration within the club, with serious concerns over the officiating at Wembley.
Big controversy brewing. 👀
🚨🎙️| Didier Drogba:
‘I’ve watched football for many years and what happened in the Chelsea vs Manchester City final today was shocking.
Chelsea should have had at least 2 or 3 clear penalties and somehow the referee ignored every single one. I just don’t understand how a professional referee can watch those incidents and pretend nothing happened. People will be scared to say it, but it looked very suspicious. When decisions are this bad, fans will start asking serious questions about whether Manchester City are being protected. Chelsea were robbed today.’”
🚨 Xabi Alonso will be involved in Chelsea transfer strategy, part of the process in order to improve the squad together with the club management.
Same will happen at Real Madrid with José Mourinho.
