Chelsea Sad Tribute - Champions League Final Heartbreak :’(
Chelsea Football Club, IPA: [ˈtʃɛɫsi:], (also known as The Blues or previously The Pensioners) are a professional English football club based in West London. Founded in 1905, they play in the Premier League and have spent most of their history in the top tier in English football. They have had two broad periods of success, one during the 1960s and early 1970s, and the second from the late 1990s to the present day. Chelsea have won three league titles, four FA Cups, four League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups, and have reached one UEFA Champions League final.[2]
Chelsea’s home is the 42,055-person capacity[1] Stamford Bridge football stadium in Fulham, West London, where they have played since their establishment. Despite their name, the club are based just outside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In 2003, the club was bought by Russian oil magnate Roman Abramovich.[3]
The club’s traditional kit colours are royal blue shirts and shorts with white socks. Their traditional crest is a ceremonial blue lion holding a staff; a modified version of this was adopted in 2005.[4]
The 2008 UEFA Champions League Final (Russian: финал Лиги чемпионов УЕФА 2008) was a football match that took place on Wednesday, 21 May 2008 at 19:45 BST (22:45 local time). The match was played at the Luzhniki Stadium, home ground of Torpedo and Spartak Moscow, in Moscow, Russia, to determine the winner of the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League. The final was contested by Manchester United and Chelsea, making it an all-English club final for the first time in European Cup/Champions League history. This was only the third time that two clubs from the same country had contested the final; the others being the 2000 and 2003 finals. The game was won by Manchester United 6–5 on penalties, after a 1–1 draw following extra time.
In a series of coincidences, in the week during which Manchester United qualified for this Final in Russia, Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg won the 2008 UEFA Cup Final at the City of Manchester Stadium in Manchester, England.[1] In a further coincidence, Manchester and Saint Petersburg have been twin towns since 1956 (the year the European Cup final was first contested).[2] The final also saw the Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich bring Chelsea to the first European Cup final staged in Russia. The Moscow location made this the easternmost final in the tournament’s history.[3] It was also Chelsea’s first European Cup final in their history.[4] The significance for United was that 2008 marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster, and the 40th anniversary of United’s first European Cup triumph in 1968.[4]
In recent years, the Champions League final has been given an identity of its own with a unique logo, a design concept, and an overall theme. The objective is to help promote the final and enhance the prestige of one of the world’s biggest sporting events. The initial idea that inspired the creation of a new identity for each final was to develop a design with a distinctive flavour of the host city. On 31 October in Moscow, the Final’s new design was presented to public. The ceremony was held in the press conference room at the Luzhniki Stadium and the design was unveiled in presence of the ambassador for the final, former Russian goalkeeper Rinat Dasayev.[5]
