Roman Abramovich decided Chelsea could not go ahead with joining the ESL and, together with the board, he gave the green light for the club to start preparing documentation to pull out.

Jurgen Klopp has to be manager of the year but I'd make Frank Lampard a close second. Third in table, FA Cup final and CL last 16 after Hazard sale and transfer ban, while bringing through youth, is pretty incredible.

The £18m Chelsea spent on Olivier Giroud in Jan 2018 has been money really well spent. Helped Chelsea win the FA Cup, top scored in Europa League in Chelsea's run to winning it and now scoring PL goals just at the right time to secure a Champions League place.

Liverpool didn't score a single goal in normal time in three finals. They've been brilliant all season but embarrassing of Michael Owen to try to claim they are the best team in Europe. Would be more helpful to analyse where they have (just) fallen short.

Easy to write the Club World Cup off as a nothing trophy and it is a strange tournament. But winning every available trophy over a 19-year period is an incredible achievement for an English club. That's why Chelsea's success in Abu Dhabi was significant.

Last weekend, Chelsea could call on the European footballer of the year to steady the midfield and this weekend it was a midfielder who should really win the Ballon d'Or. Their other sub, Timo Werner, assisted the third. Chelsea's bench could be the difference in the title race.
