After having his contract terminated out of respect to the player, Chelsea officially said their goodbyes to Cesar Azpilicueta yesterday. The Spanish defender who played in a multitude of positions and was given the name “Dave” by fans and teammates will join Atletico Madrid.
We are bidding an emotional farewell to a Chelsea great.

As a neutral fan, it is safe to say that Azpi will go down as a Premier League legend. He truly embodied what it meant to be a Chelsea player of his generation. Best of luck in Madrid, Dave.

Pulisic never truly lived up to the hype. With USMNT fans claiming he was the next best thing, Premier League fans who didn’t know too much about him expected big things. In truth, Pulisic did not meet those expectations and his time at Chelsea was “mid” at best.
