Chelsea have three players in the Euros final – and they celebrated each of them with a toe curling social media post:
“Next stop, Berlin. Cucu’s on fire, Europe’s right wingers are terrified. Our Spanish left-back has been a standout performer at the Euros. Tidy on the ball, combative off it,” the post on Chelsea’s Twitter account read.
“Up and down the left touchline, Marc’s leaving everything out on the pitch. The Blues saw what he can do earlier this year, and now he’s ready for the grand finale. This is your time, Marc. Best of luck.”
It didn’t get any better with the efforts for Conor Gallagher or Cole Palmer, who effort you can see here:
“Balling his way to Berlin. A game-changer for the Three Lions. The English cheer as he walks up to the touchline. Cometh the hour, cometh the man,” the Blues wrote on Twitter.
“With all eyes on the first kick of the shootout, the coldest man in the stadium sent the keeper the wrong way. Precision and purpose. The incisive pass for the winner in Dortmund, with just minutes to go. Us Blues know what he can do. This is your time, Cole. Best of luck!”

The real issue here
The fake outrage online about the club needing to “fold” because it seemed to support Spain is nonsense of course. The club put up the Cucurella message first precisely because (we assume) they wanted to put more emphasis on the English players. The idea that they were prioritising him and Spain is just silly.
What is more annoying is the utterly cringey, fake poetic, ultra-online style in which these things are written. A celebratory paragraph is fine, but does it have to be written like a Tweet thread from Mundial magazine? Honestly, we despair sometimes…
