The Blues lost the second leg of the play-off round 2-1 against Servette of Switzerland, but they still made it to the group stage of the 2024/25 Europa Conference League. With the 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, they maintain a 3-2 lead after two legs of the match.

With this win, Chelsea has guaranteed themselves a spot in this season’s Europa Conference League. Due to the increased excitement caused by Servette’s overly enthusiastic fans, the match was stopped with only a few minutes remaining before the final whistle.

Within the stadium, spectators who were cheering for Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen let off flares and rockets. Both teams’ players were on the sidelines, but the crowd was taken aback by Cole Palmer’s reaction.

As he sat on a ball on the sidelines and watched the home fans throw flares, the English star appeared composed. A fan even went so far as to declare, “Palmer is hilarious.” Meanwhile, someone else commented, “This is going to be an instant meme.” Thirdly, someone said, “Palmer watching the fireworks was really cute.” A large number of people said, “Best part of the game.”

In order to get Raheem Sterling, Mikel Arteta would have to abandon his transfer pledge to Arsenal

Despite Mikel Arteta’s denial, rumors persist that Arsenal are considering a move for Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling on deadline day.

Sterling, 29, has been told he is no longer needed at Stamford Bridge and will not be playing for the Blues going forward by Enzo Maresca.

The Arsenal has surfaced as a possible destination for the former Manchester City and Liverpool player, who is now looking for a new club ahead of Friday night’s transfer deadline.

That’s according to a story from The Independent. They state that Arsenal, who are looking to add an attacker to their roster, have allegedly been approached about signing Kingsley Coman of Bayern Munich and the 82-cap England player.Although it has been stated that a deal to bring Sterling to North London would be extremely complicated, Arteta has never hidden his admiration for the player, whom he collaborated closely with at Manchester City. However, during the same press conference, he flatly denied rumors that he would sign Sterling.

During his interview last week, Arteta was questioned about the current status of Sterling at Chelsea and whether he would contemplate signing the winger. “No, but I can discuss my time with Raheem,” the Spaniard said in response. Raheem was an amazing person to spend time with. We became really close as a couple. The time we spent together, he was incredible.

A lot about people, their thoughts, and how to back them up were other lessons he imparted to me. My feelings for him are deep and abiding.It is still unclear whether Arteta will try to save Sterling from his misery at Stamford Bridge, but Maresca said that unless they were able to negotiate a transfer away from Chelsea this week, none of the outcast players, including Sterling, would get any playing time.

He said, “We’re gonna see” when asked if Sterling would be moving. As is my usual practice, I have been completely forthright with Raheem and the other players.
