Silverware for London clubs has become a bit of a common feature of the last few months, however Chelsea’s biggest rivals just threw away a massive chance to make a statement to the rest of the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur lined up against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final last night, with the Champions League holders playing their first competitive game since Chelsea destroyed them in the Club World Cup final.
The Europa League winners found themselves in a brilliant position, being 2-0 up with just five minutes of normal time to play.
However, two late goals and a defeat on penalties later, the narrative had shifted very quickly back towards a more typical Spurs performance.
Enzo Fernandez makes dig at Tottenham straight after Super Cup defeat
Chelsea found themselves in a similar position against their rivals back in December, being 2-0 down in a game many had tipped them to win based on the recent form.
However, a comeback inspired by Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez saw them run out 4-3 winners, much to the delight of Enzo Maresca.
Just minutes after Wednesday’s game was over, Chelsea put out a social media post reminding everyone of their victory against PSG last month.

Fernandez took to his Instagram story to share the post, leaving a reminder of Chelsea’s ability to get the job done in a big game.
Fernandez loves playing against Spurs
The World Cup winner has faced Spurs four times since making his big-money move to Stamford Bridge, and since the nightmare 2022/23 season, has been on the right side of the result every time.
He picked up an assist when Chelsea became the first side to beat them in the 2023/24 campaign, winning a penalty converted by Palmer.
Fernandez then scored in both games last season, proving to be crucial in single-goal victories that helped them towards their goal of finishing in the top four.
The Argentine is no doubt desperate to get going again as the Blues look to build on their two-trophy campaign, as well as mount a more serious title charge.
