Yahoo Finance Chelsea to parade Champions League trophy before pre-season friendly with Tottenham
Chelsea will parade the Champions League trophy they won in May ahead of a pre-season friendly with Tottenham in August.
The Blues won the Champions League back in May after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the final in Porto.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Chelsea have not had a chance to hold a traditional open-top-bus parade.
The club, however, will parade the trophy at Stamford Bridge on August 4 ahead of a friendly against rivals Tottenham.
The two are playing each other as part of the Mind Series, which also has Arsenal taking part in and is raising money for charity.
“The pre-match entertainment will culminate in the Champions League trophy we won in May, by beating Manchester City 1-0 on that special night in Porto, being paraded around Stamford Bridge for the first time,” Chelsea wrote on the club website.
“It will be carried around the pitch by one member of Thomas Tuchel’s squad, who will also be taking part in a pitchside question and answer session about that fantastic European triumph.
“Before that, our ever-popular mascots Stamford and Bridget will be welcoming fans to SW6 while being joined around the stadium by football freestylers, face painters, balloon artists and a magician.”
