After successfully winning the 2020-2021 Champions League, Chelsea’s wonderful period can continue at Euro 2020 through representatives of their 15 players. A total of 15 Chelsea representatives at Euro 2020 have the opportunity to record a special record like the Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe became the last people to feel the pleasure of winning the Euros and the Champions League in the same year. Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe did it in 2016. After working hand in hand to lead Real Madrid to win the 2016 Champions League, Ronaldo and Pepe also stood on the championship podium at Euro 2016 in France. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered high praise for Portugal and Real Madrid teammate Pepe, calling him the “best player at the Euros” .
Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe were also included in the elite club that won the Champions League and Euros in the same year. This elite club only contains 12 names, including several other famous footballers such as Ronald Koeman (1988), Nicolas Anelka (2000), Fernando Torres (2012), and Juan Mata (2012).
If throughout the summer of 2012 Chelsea’s name was uplifted thanks to the work of Fernando Torres and Juan Mata, this year the Blues can expect 15 representatives at Euro 2020. Chelsea and Man City are the team with the most representation at Euro 2020.
Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri defend the Italian banner, while the trio of Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Mason Mount are relied on by England. N’Golo Kante, Kurt Zouma, and Olivier Giroud then became the face of Chelsea in France.
The German squad also includes a trio of Blues players, namely Kai Havertz, Antonio Ruediger and Timo Werner. The remaining four Chelsea representatives at Euro 2020 each defended Spain (Cesar Azpilicueta), Croatia (Mateo Kovacic), Denmark (Andreas Christensen), and Scotland (Billy Gilmour).
If one of Italy, England, France, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Denmark, and Scotland win Euro 2020, it is certain that there are pillars of Chelsea who can match Ronaldo’s record and enter an elite club. However, the journey will not be easy. For instance, on the first day we will have a big match of France vs Germany. On the other hand, Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to break more records at Euro 2020.
