Whenever talking about the Premier League’s representative team, it seems that more fans still have Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, etc., but Chelsea should also receive the same respect. Although Chelsea started their journey of crazy harvesting of the championship after becoming the team's boss from Abrasimovic. But it has to be said that the honors they have achieved in recent years, looking at the entire football world, are quite remarkable. Recently, after winning the Club World Cup championship, the number of intercontinental champions in their team history has reached 11, and they have completely completed the Grand Slam of the football championship, which is something that many teams cannot do. Let’s take a look at what top honors Chelsea has achieved over the years!
1. All three major European Cups were won.
First of all, let’s talk about the most important honor, that is, the three major European Cups. Time goes back to the 11-12 season. Although Chelsea only achieved 18 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses in the league due to injuries this year, and ranked sixth in the league, they have achieved success in the Champions League. After meeting with Bayern Munich in the final, the team, without Terry, Ramirez, Mereles and Ivanovic, and Thomas Muller scored a goal, the team's legend Drogba equalized the score and successfully defeated his opponent in the penalty shootout, winning a Champions League trophy in the team's history. What is even more incredible is that although their performance in the Champions League the following year, they made great progress in the UEFA Cup and finally defeated the Portuguese Super League giant Benfica 2:1 in the final, won the European championship for the second consecutive year, and became the first team to win the Champions League and the Europa League championship respectively for two consecutive years.
They once again finished their top spot in the sixth year after winning the Europa League in 2013. This time, although the team's lineup has undergone a major change, it has to be said that Chelsea's iron-blooded culture is still there. That year, Hazard was the third player in the world except Messi and Ronaldo. On the UEFA Cup stage, no one could stop Hazard's pace. In the end, he staged a 2-shot and 1-pass, helping Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 and won the second UEFA Cup championship in team history. Immediately afterwards, the team defeated the Premier League rival Manchester City in the summer of 2021, without being favored, with Havertz's only goal and won the second Champions League trophy in team history. Finally, this year, the team had no pressure at all in the UEFA Cup, and eventually successfully defeated Real Betis in the final to complete the Grand Slam against the new European Cup, which was the first team in history to achieve this achievement.
2. There are four European trophys, witnessing the team's glory.
Of course, in the team's development history, there are more than the above honors. As early as the 70-71 season, they won the first FA Cup championship in the team's history, representing the old English League One in the European Cup Winners' Cup organized by the national cup champions. They once again created miracles, not only defeating strong enemies, but even tied Real Madrid in the final, and successfully defeated their opponents in the extra game, winning the first European championship in the team's history. Soon, in the 1997-98 season, after replacing Gulit as the new head coach, Viali led Chelsea to defeat Stuttgart, who was one of the top teams in the Bundesliga, and won the second European Cup Winners' Cup in team history. In addition, the team also won the first European Super Cup championship in team history that year. Afterwards, in the 20-21 season, they won the Champions League championship and met Europa League champion Villarreal on the stage of the UEFA Super Cup. In the end, the two sides drew 1:1. In the penalty shootout, the substitute played against Kepa and became a surprise player. They saved the opponent's penalty twice, successfully helping the team win the opponent's second European Super Cup championship.
3. Go to the top of the world twice and complete the football Grand Slam.
Finally, let’s talk about their performance in the Club World Cup. Although Chelsea had already played in the Club World Cup as the Champions League as early as 2012, Chelsea's performance that year was extremely poor in the second half of the year. Not only did they lose the game in the European Super Cup, but they also lost to Corinthian on the stage of the Club World Cup. Fortunately, after 9 years, after becoming the Champions League again in 2021, the team competed in the Club World Cup again. This time, they did not waste valuable opportunities and successfully defeated Palmeiras, one of the giants in the Barcelona League, and successfully won the opponent's first Club World Cup championship. At the same time, because of their UEFA Champions League title this year, they became the first Club World Cup team to advance and restructure. Not long ago, they showed the temperament of the Iron-blooded Blues again. Without being favored, they finally successfully defeated the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final, becoming the first reorganized Club World Cup champion and completely completing the Grand Slam in the football world.
