For Cesar Azpilicueta (Zizur Mayor -Navarra-, August 28, 1989) This Saturday was also a special day, although his Chelsea did not go beyond the 0-0 against Liverpool at Anfield. With his presence at Anfield, from the 81st minute replacing Trevoh Chalobah, the Spanish international completed half a thousand appearances for Chelsea.
Azpilicueta signed for Chelsea on 24 August 2012coming from Marseille, for about 10 million euros, and has become a legend at Stamford Bridge, occupying all defensive positions.
The Spanish international has survived nine coaches and as captain he lifted the Champions League to Porto in 2021. With Chelsea, he also won 2 Europa Leagues, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 2 Premiers, 1 English League Cup and 1 FA Cup.
In 117 years of history, only five other players have played 500 games including the Chelsea shirt; John Hollins, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Peter Bonetti, and Ron Harris.
With a contract until 2024, some weight loss on manager Graham Potter, who wants to revitalize the team, and his desire to return to the League, they remain in doubt as to how long they can extend their history at Stamford Bridge. Last summer he was close to Barcelona.
