Referees 🚮🚮
Since January 2019 — Chelsea has featured in 7 domestic cup finals at Wembley.
7 losses
1 goal scored in 750 minutes of football + additional time
The Chelsea curse at Wembley continues — so much so that you're almost starting to think it's not a curse — but rather a higher power not wanting Chelsea to win.
In the League Cup final in 2019 — Hazard was through in the dying minutes of extra time and the ref blew the whistle for offside — wrongly. We went on to lose in a penalty shootout.
In the FA Cup final in 2020 — Anthony Taylor decided to screw us over again — like he did in 2017. Kovacic was sent off for being stamped on by Xhaka. Emi Martinez handballed outside the box without being punished. Arsenal got a penalty for a foul outside the box.
In the FA Cup final in 2021 — Ben Chilwell had an equalizer disallowed for a wrongly called offside.
In the League Cup final in 2022 — Lukaku had a goal disallowed for offside — again wrong. We went on to lose another penalty shootout.
In the FA Cup final in 2022 — we lost yet another penalty shootout.
In the League Cup final in 2024 — we choked vs Liverpool's C team (thanks Poch).
And today we have three 50/50 penalty decisions all given against us because Darren England is too much of a coward to make a tough decision.
It's adding up to something that simply can't be excused away as "bad luck" anymore.
