CHELSEA REWIND: ⏪ Dennis Wise & John Spencer were at the heart in the mid 90’s. They fought for every ball, gave everything they had every time they stepped onto the pitch, & set the standard. Football felt better then, more physical, passionate & players with personality. 👏

[César Azpilicueta @CesarAzpi]

Dear football,

Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.

Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.

When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

That stoppage between Usyk and verhoven was dodgy. If that's how Usyk is boxing now, Moses Itauma could probably knock him out. In any case I see a return fight as Verhoven must be well mad at how the ref stopped it. Imagine Simon Jordan will have something to say @Sjopinion10

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Real Madrid will include an extra year into José Mourinho’s contract, valid until June 2029.

The agreement is sealed and completed, as reported on Monday — approved by Mourinho and Real Madrid lawyers.

Mourinho will be in Madrid next week. ✅

Here we go, fully confirmed.

[Vigo @vigoerm]

I'm actually excited to have Alonso. I have a good feeling about next year. Let's see, I'm hopeful all the same and if he's going in the right direction he doesn't have to win in first year for me. Just have some top runs in the cups and go for top 4/3 at least

🚨 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐃: Fabrizio Romano’s ‘HERE WE GO’ post for José Mourinho to Real Madrid is the most liked announcement EVER.

This Carvalho’s goal against Man United will never be forgotten, man. He literally knew he was going to score that he had to join Joe Cole, Lampard and Drogba on a counterattack.

Happy birthday to one of the best CB to ever grace the game.

🗣️ José Mourinho: “Ricardo Carvalho was one of the best defenders I ever worked with. Intelligent, fast and always calm.”

🗣️ John Terry: “He was the perfect partner. He read the game unbelievably well and made defending look easy.”

🗣️ Paolo Ferreira: “Ricardo saw danger before anyone else. That’s what made him special.”

🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti: “Carvalho was elegant. He defended with intelligence, not panic.”

A defender who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. 🇵🇹

🚨 JUST IN: Gerard Piqué says Chelsea coming back from 2–0 down with 10 men to eliminate Barcelona in the 2012 UCL semifinal is one of the TOP two GREATEST COMEBACKS he has ever witnessed, admitting he has “never seen mentality like that before.”

That Chelsea comeback against us in 2012 is honestly one of the two greatest comebacks I’ve ever witnessed in football. And I say that as someone who was on the pitch suffering through it."

"We were 2–0 up at Camp Nou, Chelsea were down to ten men after the red card, and the whole stadium already felt sure Barcelona were going through. Normally in football, that situation is over."

"But mentally, they were unbelievable. I remember looking across and seeing players throwing themselves into tackles, blocking shots with everything, fighting for every second like their lives depended on it."

"What shocked me most was that they never panicked. Most teams in that atmosphere against Barcelona would completely collapse. Chelsea somehow became calmer after going down to ten men."

"The goal before halftime changed everything psychologically. Suddenly, even with all the possession we had, you could feel Chelsea growing stronger mentally while frustration started entering our team."

"And then Torres scoring at the end… honestly, I’ve never heard the Camp Nou go that silent. It felt impossible that we were out after everything that happened in the game."

"People always talk about tactics in football, but that night was about mentality. Pure mentality. I still haven’t seen many teams react to adversity the way Chelsea did in that semifinal."

"You can dislike their style, you can argue about luck, but mentally that Chelsea team was one of the strongest teams I’ve ever faced."

After Jose Mourinho was sacked by Spurs then Roma, I thought Benfica was the end of the road for him. Then he goes unbeaten all season and lands the biggest job in world football as Real Madrid manager again. This is the greatest comeback in football managerial history.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 José Mourinho finishes the season undefeated at Benfica in Portuguese league, another win today on his likely last game at the club.

23 wins, 11 draws, 0 defeats.

Benfica will play Europa League next year. 🦅

Didier Drogba is the ONLY player to score in four FA Cup finals 😲⚽︎

[Vigo @vigoerm]

I'm actually excited about this. I've always liked Alonso. Real Madrid is a nut house let's be honest. He's also been trained by the 2 best managers of the last 20 years, Mourinho and Guardiola

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Xabi Alonso is expected to be announced on Sunday and will begin his new role on July 1.

He will carry the title of 'manager' not head coach. This is a recognition of his experience and track record, including winning the Bundesliga with Leverkusen.

Alonso was a carefully considered choice by Chelsea's leadership with his coaching quality, trophy pedigree, character, emotional intelligence and leadership all noted during the process.

Alonso is viewed as calm, tactical and capable of building a high-performance culture at a key time for the club.

Chelsea feel their project is heading into a new phase from this summer.

There is an acknowledgement within Chelsea they had to get this appointment right as well as that mistakes have been made this season. Lessons have been learned.

The objective remains getting the club back to competing for the biggest honours, and back in the #UCL.

Alonso will work extremely closely with the sporting directors and owners including in recruitment and squad planning.

Understand Alonso believes the squad is already talented but there are areas to improve this summer.

Chelsea will seek multiple starters this window, including a new centre-back, and will consider signing Premier League ready players.🇪🇸
