Summary
A pretty seismic couple of days by all accounts...
The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey join Matt Davies-Adams to reflect on events on and off the pitch following news of owner Roman Abramovich's intention to give the 'stewardship and care' of the club over to the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation.
We try and get to the bottom of what this means for the club, why the announcement was made and what the future could hold - before turning our attention to the extraordinary League Cup final, with penalty specialist Kepa Arrizabalaga missing the decisive spot kick as Liverpool won 11-10 on penalties after an enthralling 0-0 draw at Wembley.
There's a look ahead to Wednesday night's trip to Luton, a round up of the other Blues news - including a crushing 7-0 win for Chelsea women on their quest to retain the FA Cup - and a look at what's on the agenda for the chaps this week...
