Summary
We were all meant to be enjoying the magic of the cup at Kenilworth Road...
Owner Roman Abramovich has confirmed he's put Chelsea up for sale - and written off the £1.5 billion of loans he's made to the club.
Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson, Dom Fifield and Liam Twomey alongside him for a full debrief as we reflect on the news that broke less than an hour before Thomas Tuchel's side faced Luton Town.
Adam Crafton has been at the centre of the story for The Athletic and joins the chaps to detail how we reached this point after a tumultuous week, what the future could hold for the club after 19 years under Abramovich - and rumoured candidates to purchase the Blues.
On the pitch we try and focus on the 3-2 win over the Hatters, look ahead to Turf Moor on Saturday - and hear from Pernille Harder as Chelsea Women look to defend their Conti Cup title against Man City.
