Chelsea ended their season by winning the Europa League with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Arsenal in Baku and matched an impressive feat in the process.
Wednesday’s win meant the Blues became the first team to earn a major European title without losing any of their games (W12 D3) since Manchester United won the Champions League in the 2007/08 season, beating Chelsea on penalties in Moscow.

Cesar Azpilicueta lifts the Europa League
The Blues won their first five matches in the Europa League, beating PAOK, MOL Vidi and BATE Borisov, before they drew 2-2 with MOL in December.
They were then held in both legs of their semi-final clash with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1, before winning 4-3 on penalties to reach the final against Arsenal.
There, after a drab first half showing from both sides, Chelsea produced a rampant second-half display to blow away Unai Emery’s side.
Goals from Olivier Giroud, Pedro and an Eden Hazard double, in what looks set to be his final match for the club, helped Chelsea win the competition for the second time following their 2013 triumph.

“I love the Premier League and I’m lucky I’m at Chelsea but at the end of each season you have to sit down and talk.
