I started supporting Chelsea in 2003 and it has been one hell of a ride. Watching the club win the Champions League against Munich, in Munich, was magical. The club has made me proud with the level of managers and players that have passed through.
Chelsea holds some of the longest standing records in the Premier League, and that is a reminder of how much importance we have put into recruiting the best. Chelsea is like an escape for me, and by extension football. I look forward to games, even when I don't like how things are going. I can't think of anything that'll make me stop supporting this club.

I became a Chelsea fan when Claude Makelele joined from Real Madrid. As an aspiring CDM, he embodied everything I wanted to be on the pitch. Not long after Jose Mourinho arrived and turned Chelsea into a winning machine with leaders throughout the team from defence to attack.
Opponents dreaded coming to the Bridge and that fear factor made me fall more in love with the team. Though we didn't play with much flair, we knew how to unlock defenses and we knew how to lock out opponents. A team that believed in itself and played with pride was all I needed then and I found that embodied in CFC.

Chelsea are more than just a team for me, they are a way of life. For most of my life, I grew up not being into soccer at all. But that all changed during the 2014 World Cup, and I fell in love with Chelsea. At first, it was the blue uniforms and Eden Hazard who became my favorite player because of how dynamic he was.
I slowly but surely became fans of guys like Oscar, Diego Costa, Jose Mourinho, John Terry, and Cesar Azpilicueta. I can remember falling in love with the good teams and battling through the bad years. Winning the EPL with Mourinho in 2014-15 and then with Antonio Conte in 2016-17 were magical, those teams were so much fun to watch.
I'll never forget the euphoric feeling I had when they beat Manchester City in the Champions League Final in 2021. Through the good times and the bad rooting for Chelsea hasn't always been easy, but it has certainly been worth it.
