[74502] Anniversary of Champions League victory stirs stormy reactions online

Anniversary of Chelsea's Champions League victory stirs tensions

Today, May 29, 2026, football fans around the world marked the anniversary of Chelsea's Champions League victory in 2021. The club posted an official reminder of the historic achievement, using the title "UCL winners on this day in 2021" (via Chelsea).

The milestone sparked conflicting reactions on social media, reflecting the intense rivalries in English and European football. Via Chelsea, the club took the opportunity to send a message to their rivals, Arsenal, warning that the team "can never allow this to happen" (referring to allowing Arsenal to lift the trophy).

On the other hand, hostile parties towards the club expressed firm opposition to the team's success. The Twitter account kakyetroll, known for its critical and mocking approach toward major clubs, reacted cynically to the anniversary. Via kakyetroll, within the context of referring to the Champions League final (#UCLfinal), the account expressed a hope that rival teams would "concede 4 goal," in what appears to be a negative wish regarding the past and present achievements of top-tier clubs.
