'Chelsea still had a great team after AVB left. I said, "This is the last chance many of you will get to win the Champions League - seize this opportunity"': Roberto Di Matteo reveals what he said to Blues squad when becoming interim manager in 2012 | Fou

Chelsea legend Roberto Di Matteo has revealed what it felt like to replace Andre Villas-Boas in the middle of their iconic 2012 Champions League-winning season. Villas-Boas was sacked in March after his Chelsea side followed up a 3-1 defeat in the Champions League last 16 first-leg against Napoli with a 1-0 loss to West Brom in the Premier League, which left the Blues off the pace in the fight for fourth.
‘I support Maresca but his job will rely on Champions League qualification’ Chelsea legend Gus Poyet urges club to back the manager this summer

It’s fair to say stability hasn’t been too high on Chelsea’s priority list since the club was taken over by Todd Boehly’s Clearlake Capital in the summer of 2022.

Chelsea were the overwhelming favourites heading into the 1997 FA Cup final, but that didn't help settle the nerves of certain individuals before the match at Wembley. Having finished sixth in the Premier League table that season, Chelsea faced a side in Middlesbrough who were relegated to the second tier of English footbal after coming 19th in the league. Despite that, Boro still had players who could cause Chelsea problems in Juninho and Fabrizio Ravenelli.

Former Chelsea manager and club legend Roberto Di Matteo believes his side defied all odds to beat Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semi-finals.

Who's on your list of the best Premier League players ever? We all have a good idea. It's given us Sir Alex Ferguson, Kevin Keegan and Arsene Wenger. It's given us mayhem, magic and Mike Dean.

There's no division in football quite like the Premier League, where the geniuses and madmen of the game flock to write their name in history. For 28 years, we've witnessed incredible sights - and some of the greatest players to ever live.
