Great moment in Chelsea Football Club history: European Cup Winners Cup Victory over Real Madrid, 1971 This iconic photograph captures the jubilant scene of Chelsea Football Club players and fans celebrating their victory in the European Cup Winners Cup final against Real Madrid on May 6, 1971. The team, dressed in their blue and white striped shirts, stand atop an open-top bus waving to the sea of ecstatic supporters below. The Busby Babes of Manchester United look on from the sidelines, adding to the historic significance of the moment. The European Cup Winners Cup was a prestigious European football competition open to the winners of domestic cup competitions. Chelsea had reached the final for the first time in their history, and their opponents were none other than the mighty Real Madrid, who were European champions on four occasions. The match took place at Wembley Stadium in London, and the tension was palpable as the two teams faced off. The game ended in a 2-2 draw after extra time, and the outcome was decided by a penalty shootout. Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Bonetti saved two penalties, and Eddie McCreadie scored the decisive spot-kick to secure a 4-2 victory for the Blues. The team's triumph was a testament to their resilience and determination, and their victory was celebrated with wild enthusiasm by their fans. This photograph encapsulates the elation and excitement of that momentous day, with players and fans united in their joy and pride. It is a classic moment in Chelsea's history, and a reminder of the passion and spirit that has defined the club for generations.
