Chelsea release special Champions League kit fans will love after European success

Chelsea have released a limited edition version of their 2021/22 home kit following the weekend's Champions League success.

Kai Havertz scored on the stroke of half-time, which turned out to be the only goal of the game against Manchester City at the Estadio do Dragao.

The Blues secured their second Champions League trophy after a faultless display from Thomas Tuchel's men.

Immediately after the win, supporters have now been given the chance to purchase a special edition shirt that celebrates the historic night in Portugal.

It is a replica of next season's home shirt, which has two stars located above Chelsea's badge in the top right, to represent both of their Champions League triumphs.

The number 21 adorns the back of the shirt with 'CHAMPIONS' printed above and 'OF EUROPE' below the number.

The replica shirt will cost Blues supporters £84.95, or £119.95 for the official match version. A kids shirt with the two stars is £69.95.

Chelsea did something very similar after their first Champions League success back in 2012.

Following the game, Blues boss Tuchel all but confirmed he would be offered an extension on his current contract at Stamford Bridge.

The German coach said: “I’m not even 100 per cent sure, but maybe I have a new contract now with that win. It can be, my manager said something about it, but I did not know. Let’s check this first.

“I spoke to the owner right now on the pitch. It was the best moment for a first meeting or the worst because from now it can only get worse.

“We will speak tomorrow, we will speak later. I am looking forward to this.

“I can assure him that I will stay hungry. That I want the next title. That I feel absolutely happy as a part of a really ambitious club, a strong group that suits my beliefs, my passion about football in the moment perfectly. So my desire is to go for more victories.

"My desire is to grow as a coach and my desire is to push the group from the first day of the next season."
