🚨PEP GUARDIOLA ON CHELSEA:
🗣️“People will laugh when I say this, but I don’t care. Chelsea are the best club in the world in the 21st century.
Their mentality, their history, the way they build teams… even when they struggle, they always find a way back.
If you ask me which club I would never want to face at their best, it’s Chelsea.
I have enormous respect for them. The Premier League needs Chelsea at the top.”

🚨 Lionel Messi on why he hates Chelsea during his time at Barcelona 👇
"There are players here who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid," Messi told the News of the World. "I never thought I would hear myself say that.
"I also never thought I would see something worse than the Boca and River Plate rivalry or Brazil v Argentina - but this is.
"We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea."
"Chelsea are always a problem for Barcelona during good or bad times they're always a problem."
Mourinho on how he made Chelsea a title contending team the very season Abramovich signed him to Chelsea.
He literally came into the League that had been dominated by Man United & Arsenal for years, won the League back to back and the rest was history.
Cesc Fàbregas: I don't want to say that Eden Hazard was Chelsea's best player in history, but his talent was huge. Definitely the most talented Chelsea player I've ever seen. ✅🇧🇪
"I played alongside him for 5 years and almost immediately upon my arrival it was clear that this would be our new Messi." Over time, he proved that I was right with his performance on the field. ”
"The craziest thing about it all was that he only enjoyed football." Others tried to impress the coach every day at training and he sometimes couldn't even tie his boots. He didn't feel like running, he was just joking and laughing. The match came and was a mile ahead of all the players. This kind of talent I have only seen in Messi and Hazard, it was unbelievable.”
🚨🫂 Leo Messi on the rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo: “What happened was a beautiful sporting rivalry”.
“It's something natural in the world of football. I was at Barcelona and he was at Real Madrid, and we were competing for everything both collectively and individually, so people were always comparing us.
"But our relationship was always good and respectful, and everything that happened was purely athletic. There was nothing personal.
"We didn't meet often except at matches or award ceremonies, and we were always on good terms.
"Now we're at different stages in our lives, but what happened was a beautiful sporting rivalry”, told @polloalvarezok.
Since Mikel Arteta joined Arsenal, Chelsea have won 5 major trophies.
1 UEFA Champions League
1 UEFA Super Cup
2 FIFA Club Word Cups
1 Conference League
I always wonder how these Arsenal fans think, there must be a group chat somewhere.
Chelsea have a different philosophy, they don’t build, they want to win, and they want to win NOW.
Arsenal has been building, and they are most likely gonna go trophyless yet again.
Not trying to be a revisionist but remember when this guy got Champions League football and went to a Cup final with a bunch of Chelsea kids and a transfer ban? Too much disrespect on his name, that second stint at Chelsea did damage to his rep
🚨 BREAKING: Mario Gomez says Peter Cech was a "Witch" he read their minds and was tested for doping after the 2012 final
"I put the ball down and look at Peter Cech, who’s standing there and was a monster. I put the ball down, turn around, and it was clear for me, I’m going.....
to hit into one corner, powerfully. I have to hit it powerfully, otherwise he’ll get to it. I walk back, turn around and think, no, he’ll save it. On the way to the ball I changed my mind and went for the other corner."
"The mad thing about this story is: afterwards I have doping control. Petr Cech is sitting with me at doping control. He’s completely shy, reserved, and eventually he says to me: ‘Hey, what was with the penalty?’ I look at him and say: ‘Eh"
"Then he says to me: ‘You wanted to shoot towards the other corner first. You totally confused me. I knew you were going for the other corner.’ He pretty much said what happened in me. That’s brutal. That made me realise again what a great goalkeeper he is.”
🚨 John Terry on Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella in a recent interview about joining Real Madrid and Barcelona:
“Chelsea isn’t the club it used to be. Pedro, Cesc Fàbregas, Claude Makélélé, and Samuel Eto’o all left Barcelona and Real Madrid to play for Chelsea. Back then, players didn’t say no to Chelsea. But today, players want to leave Chelsea for La Liga. It feels like the club’s name is fading.”
The presence of mind this man has is unreal. The way he speaks, the way he explains, the way he owns every moment. Pure charisma https://t.co/H5zAZwcurP
“During your time at Chelsea, Sarri suggested you be inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo's lifestyle.”
🗣️ Eden Hazard: "Yes, but I answered him that I didn't want to. I've never exaggerated, but I've always wanted to be Hazard on and off the pitch. If my friends invited me to dinner I wouldn't back down, if I felt like having a glass I wouldn't deprive myself of it. Cristiano is Cristiano, I am Hazard. I just wanted to be myself and play football.” @Gazzetta_it
Bundesliga has 13 different winners since its creation in 1963.
Laliga has 9 different winners since its creation in 1929.
So why is it the Bundesliga that constantly gets mocked online? In Laliga teams will literally play haram ball all the time, compared to Bundesliga’s non stop action.
