Chelsea won for the first time in their club history ‘a double’ after defeating Portsmouth with 1-0 at Wembley yesterday. The double means that Chelsea managed to win the Premier League and the FA Cup in one season. To celebrate this historical accomplishment the players and support staff will take part in an open top bus parade, starting at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Tens of thousands of people are expected to join the victory parade with the Cheslea players. The victory celebration will take an hour. Some roads along the route are closed to avoid the parade. For fans who do not want to line the streets, Chelsea made it possible to watch the parade on a big screen at Eel Brook Common.
My opinion:
I think it was a huge task for Portsmouth to win this match, they were the underdog from the start. Although they managed to get to the final, so they were not totally hopeless. Portsmouth was under siege during the first half but still they managed to keep their goal clean. Boateng ( Portsmouth) had a huge opportunity to lead the game but he failed. His effort was blocked by the feet of Cech (Chelsea). Right after that showed Drogba (Chelsea) why he is such an amazing striker. Through a free kick made he the double real. This was the sixth FA Cup in 105-year history.
