Chaos and talk of sackings and mutiny, but Maurizio Sarri is standing tall in the Chelsea dugout having now delivered a top-four finish and two finals, as his side beat Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties in the Europa League semi-final.
Eden Hazard stepped up in what could well be his final bow in a Chelsea shirt to book a date with Arsenal in Baku from the penalty spot. Kepa Arrizabalaga saved two penalties to put an end to the 210 minute contest against the German hopefuls.
It is fair when you look back on Chelsea's journey to their second Europa League final to say that they have had favourable draws, but as so many have failed to do in a year of European shocks, you have to beat who is in front of you and avoid the upsets.
