After 4 long years, Wisła Kraków are BACK in Poland’s top flight. 🏆🔴⚪
The club crowned champions of the Polish second division this season — and Kraków erupted last night as thousands of fans filled the city center to celebrate the return of a sleeping giant. 🔥🇵🇱

🚨 💣 Marc Cucurella BOMBSHELL interview
“The moment Maresca left, it had a big impact on us. These are decisions taken by the club. If you asked me, I would not have made this decision. To make a change like that, the best thing is to wait until the end of the season.”
“I understand this is part of the club’s policy & that they want to take this direction,signing young players and looking to the future. But, for all of us who are still here and want to win big things, moments like this (PSG) make you feel discouraged”
“We have a good core of players. The foundations are there. But to fight for major trophies such as the Premier League or the Champions League, you need MORE. Signing young players only might complicate achieving those goals.”

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Carragher: "Chelsea used to be RUTHLESS! Managers were expected to win the Champions League! Tottenham, Arsenal, these are the clubs made for 5-year plans, Chelsea is NOT that kind of club!"
"Chelsea fans want to win NOW! They are used to that!"
"If a manager wouldn't come close to win the Champions League, he would be GONE! And they pick the next one, and the next one, and the next one. And even if they wouldn't win a CL or PL, they would win other trophies. They would keep collecting trophies, Europa League's, FA Cup's, Carabao Cups. They were constantly in finals of other tournaments."
"Now they are 'building..', what do you mean 'building?', Chelsea fans want to win NOW!"
🚨🗣️| Cesc Fabregas on why he cried after being substituted in his final game for Chelsea, but wasn’t seen crying when he left Arsenal:
“To be honest, I’ve come across posts like that before, and I just smiled, but it was very emotional for me. While I was playing for Arsenal, I saw Chelsea as a rival. In fact, I never would’ve thought I’d become a Chelsea player one day.”
“But crying after my last game for Chelsea was something I couldn’t control. It was a very emotional moment. Despite joining from a rival club, the fans showed me love beyond imagination. I was so loved at Chelsea that I started wishing I had started my career there.”
“Chelsea gave me what was difficult for me to get at Arsenal. No disrespect to Arsenal, I love them too, because that’s where Chelsea noticed me. I’m happy I was able to win trophies with Chelsea, not just play for them.”
“Hopefully one day I’ll be a coach at one of those two clubs. It’s a dream for me.”
3 - Cole Palmer is the first player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks in the first half of a match (also vs Everton and Brighton). Ice.
Interesting read about Chelsea’s U18 coach, Hassan Sulaiman. Calum McFarlane is joining Liam Rosenior’s first-team coaching staff, which leaves the U21 role vacant. Instead of promoting the U18 head coach to the U21s, his assistant, Harry Hudson got promoted to become the U21 coach. As a result, Sulaiman remains with the U18s while his assistant was promoted ahead of him.
It’s worth noting that Hassan Sulaiman has been part of Chelsea’s youth setup since 2008.
Apparently, everyone who was promoted has links to Joe Shields and the Kinetic Academy. Hmmmm!
🚨👀 Pep Guardiola on Maresca leaving Chelsea: “Let me say… Chelsea from my point of view have lost an incredible, incredible manager, an incredible person”.
“But it’s a decision from the hierarchy of Chelsea, so nothing to add”.
It was never your fault gaffer, you brought this club back into the spotlight and the ownership failed you miserably
I’ll never let your name be tarnished by the people that run our club. You deserved so much better, if this is the end, I wish you all the best🤝🫡
