After several low-profile decades, Chelsea has returned to the top and remained there since winning their second FA Cup in 1997.

Their impressive list of achievements since includes a UEFA Cup, another FA Cup in 2000, two League Cups, as well as the Premier League championship twice in a row, including last season.

One look at their star-studded team for next season says it all: Chelsea is a top club and a must-see for every football fan around the globe.
