Diego Maradona revealed he was a Chelsea fan

The legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona made headlines back in 2008 during a visit to Stamford Bridge, as he openly expressed his admiration for Chelsea.

“I am a Chelsea supporter. This is the only English club I back and follow. I love how they play. I would have happily played for them in my playing days.

Chelsea is immensely popular in South America and Argentina. They have a knack for creating memorable moments and defeating top teams when least expected.

Back in 2005, when Chelsea faced Barcelona in the Champions League, it was incredibly hard to root for the London side. But they astounded the world by beating Barcelona 4-2. Since that day, my respect for Chelsea has only grown.”
