Chelsea face Arsenal in the Europa League final in the unfamiliar setting of Azerbaijan on Wednesday in what is likely to be Chelsea star Eden Hazard’s last match for the club before a rumoured move to Real Madrid.
However, there will not be much of an English atmosphere at the Baku Olympic Stadium when the match kicks off at 11:00pm , with reportedly only around 6 000 tickets sold by the clubs for a ground which holds almost 70 000. “It is not in my hands. They have their reason to play here and I must respect this decision,” Arsenal coach Unai Emery said on Tuesday.I’d prefer it if a lot of supporters from us and from Chelsea could come here from London, but it’s difficult.”
Sarri had earlier refused the Juventus vacancy, saying: “I have a contract with Chelsea for two years.He said winning the final would turn a “very good season” into a “wonderful” one. Some critics would argue however that a third-place Premier League finish 26 points adrift of champions Manchester City and a chance of winning Europe’s second-tier trophy is unsatisfactory for a club with Russian-backed Chelsea’s budget.
Arsenal have not been in a European final since 2006 and have not won a continental trophy since lifting the Cup Winners’ Cup 25 years ago.“All teams’ first objective is to play to win a title—I think that is the first objective, and then there is also the fact that it helps you to achieve the Champions League,” said Emery, the former PSG coach.
