WED 11 Aug 2021 Euro Super Cup Final Chelsea FC Vs. Villarreal 8pm GMT Venue: Windsor Park, Belfast. Windsor Park is the home ground of Linfield F.C. so this should be like a home game for us. Tammy Abraham in the squad. Tuchel said players who featured in the Euros may not start or figure against Villarreal. Chelsea will be appearing in the Super Cup for a fifth time. Since winning their first in 1998 against Real Madrid, the Blues have failed to lift the trophy in each of their last three attempts
Time for us to get the 'rub of the green' in this match, for gods sake don't let it come down to penalty kicks!
Am I right in thinking this doesn't impact world club cup qualification and that we have to travel to Japan in December regardless of this result (pandemic permitting)?
I wouldn't put it past fifa to claim the super cup winners as the uefa representatives. No need to be snippy about it.
Chelsea team news, very similar if not identical to the team that started against Spuds Chalobah gets a start
Mendy 15 Zouma 14 Chalobah 2 Rüdiger 20 Hudson-Odoi 7 Kanté 17 Kovacic 3 Alonso 22 Ziyech 29 Havertz 11 Werner
FIFA/UEFA are foolish but I don't think they would be that desperate to keep us out. Maybe if Platini was still running things. Sorry. Didn't mean to come off that way.
I think Alonso is worth keeping for those games where we have the possession and need to find a way through
Not how I wanted to see pulisic introduced. Hope ziyech is alright, looked like nothing much happened. Wingers really are a brittle breed.
