Chelsea secured a significant victory by winning on the road against the newly crowned English champion, Manchester United. The match, despite lacking much interest, had symbolic importance. The decisive goal was scored by J. Mata in the 87th minute.
Chelsea’s recent successes, including their qualification for the Europa League final, have fueled discussions about the potential return of Jose Mourinho to the club. Mourinho, who previously coached Chelsea for two years, has been linked to a possible return, and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly willing to offer a substantial salary of 16 million pounds per year to entice him back.
However, some express caution, citing Mourinho’s less successful stint at Real Madrid. The outcome of this managerial decision remains uncertain, and only time will tell whether Mourinho will return to Chelsea for a second term.
Under the interim management of Rafa Benitez during the season, Chelsea achieved notable results. As of the latest update, Chelsea sits in third place with 68 points, just one point ahead of Arsenal and four points behind Manchester City. The race for a higher standing in the league continues as the season approaches its conclusion.
