Chelsea's recent record in Europe

The Blues reached the Super Cup by beating Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final in Baku in May.

Chelsea remained unbeaten in Europe last season (12 wins, three draws), which is also a Europa League record.

Frank Lampard’s side are looking to extend our club record 15-game unbeaten run in Europe. Our last defeat was in March 2018, at Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16 (0-3).

We have scored three or more goals in five of our last eight European matches. Our total of 36 goals last term was one short of the Europa League record, set by Porto in 2010/11.
