What does Chelsea’s new home kit look like?
Leaked photographs of the new Nike shirt, as reported by FootyHeadlines, show a dark blue shirt with a zig-zag and chequered pattern across it.
The shorts are the same design, with both the shirt and shorts having yellow accents.
The socks are white with two bands across the middle, one dark blue and the other yellow.
Is there a precedent for this?
Yes. Chelsea have unveiled kits in major finals before. They wore a home shirt for the first time in their Champions League final in Moscow in 2008.
They also wore a different shirt for their games post-lockdown last season after their deal with Yokohama Tyres expired. That kit was sponsored by mobile phone company 3. They wore it in the FA Cup final they lost to Arsenal last season.
It has also been used for the majority of this season.
How did Chelsea reach the FA Cup final?
They beat Morecambe and Luton Town in the third and fourth rounds before overcoming Barnsley in the fifth.
The quarter-final saw Chelsea beat Sheffield United 2-0. They then beat Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley on April 17 to reach the final.
What was Chelsea’s route to the Women’s Champions League final?
Chelsea overcame Benfica in the round of 32 before beating Atletico Madrid in the round of 16.
They then beat Wolfsburg 5-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. Last month, they beat Bayern Munich to reach the final for the first time.
