Chelsea were one of the biggest losers of Manchester United’s win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25. The Red Devils upset their rivals 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to finish off their season on a high.
The result had severe ramifications on who would represent England in European competitions next season, with Erik ten Hag’s side nicking a UEFA Europa League spot despite finishing only eighth in the league.
