In another agonizing final, Chelsea lost again to Liverpool on penalties. This was the last chance for the blues to end a season that went practically wrong from day one. The tension with Romelu Lukaku, the war that paralyzed the day-to-day running of the team and the subsequent sale to Todd Boehly has been extra destabilizing for the Londoners.

After the final, Antonio Rüdiger (29 years old), who will leave Chelsea to join Real Madrid, analyzed his departure from Stamford Bridge: “There was an opportunity, but the sanctions are not the problem. I don’t want to delve into things too much. In the end it’s not just one part, it’s both parts: Chelsea have been very good to me, I’ve been very good with Chelsea”assured the German center-back.
