Chelsea give fans a touching commemorative gift after supporters travelled 7,000 MILES to freezing Kazakhstan for Blues' Conference League clash

Chelsea fans who have made the journey to watch Enzo Maresca's side face FC Astana in Almaty have been given a touching commerative gift to mark the mammoth journey.

The Uefa Conference League tie in Almaty is the furthest that the Blues have ever travelled for a European game, with the Almaty Ortalyk stadium a staggering 3,485 miles from Stamford Bridge.

The last time Chelsea travelled anywhere near as far for European competition came at the 2019 Europa League final - but Azerbaijan's Baku National Stadium was a mere 3,000 miles from west London.
