Chelsea will stick with this season’s kit for the Champions League final - easing the concerns of superstitious figures at the club.
Manchester City and Chelsea will both be wearing their home strips in Saturday’s final in Porto.
Though unlike in the FA Cup final and Women’s Champions League final, when they ran out in next season’s eye-catching strip, Chelsea will revert to the one they have been using for most of the campaign for their next showpiece occasion.
Chelsea lost both of this month’s games in the 2021-22 kit which were picked as ideal opportunities to help showcase it, coming just a few days after its unveiling, before returning to their existing one for the remainder of the season.
