Chelsea Home Shirt 2012/13

In 2012/13, Chelsea, managed by Rafael Benítez (interim after Roberto Di Matteo’s sacking), had a turbulent season following their UEFA Champions League triumph. The squad included stars like Frank Lampard, Juan Mata, Petr Čech, Eden Hazard, and Didier Drogba, blending experience with emerging talent. Chelsea finished 3rd in the Premier League, behind Manchester United and Manchester City, securing Champions League qualification. Domestically, they reached the FA Cup final but lost 1–0 to Wigan Athletic in a shock result. Despite struggles in the league and managerial instability, the season highlighted the squad’s resilience and set the stage for José Mourinho’s return in 2013/14.
