About Chelsea
Chelsea play at Stamford Bridge in west London, capacity 40,343. Founded in 1905, the Blues' modern identity was forged by Roman Abramovich's 2003 takeover and the trophies that followed: six league titles, two Champions League wins, and a European record under Jose Mourinho's first spell that saw them concede just 15 goals in 2004/05. The 2012 Champions League final, equalising in the 88th minute against Bayern Munich in Munich's own stadium, may be the most improbable European triumph ever.
Legends
Frank Lampard (2001-2014) scored 211 goals from midfield, a record essentially unrepeatable, across 648 appearances. Didier Drogba was the big-game striker: his injury-time header in the 2012 Champions League final is Chelsea's defining modern moment. Gianfranco Zola brought magic to the Bridge before the money arrived, voted the club's greatest ever player by fans. John Terry won everything there was to win across five [[Premier League]] titles.
