Top brand. Chelsea signs sponsorship deal with major company

Chelsea defeated Burnley 2–0 in their Premier League fixture and are now preparing for their UEFA Champions League match. The club has also secured a new sponsor.

Details: Chelsea officially announced on their social media channels that Coca-Cola is now a club sponsor. The brand will appear on stadium advertising boards and in various club promotional materials, but not on players’ jerseys.

Interestingly, ahead of their Champions League Matchday 5 clash against Chelsea, Barcelona decided not to train on the opponent’s pitch. The team’s decision was motivated by a desire to keep tactical plans secret and not reveal their game strategies.

Reminder: Cole Palmer was finally close to returning from a groin injury when he broke the “pinky” on his left foot by hitting it against a door at home. It sounds trivial, but for a player who relies on powerful strikes and high pressing, the timing and location of such an incident can become a real setback.
