Chelsea Players forgot to Wear their Black Arm Bands

Chelsea were fully expecting to complete a domestic double when they faced Arsenal in the FA Cup final - but things didn’t quite work out that way.

Even before kick-off, the Blues messed up big time.

They accidentally forgot to wear the black armbands to pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack on Monday. The explanation was because Chelsea ditched the jackets they were supposed to wear at the start of the match - meaning the black armbands that were laid out on top of them went unnoticed.


Chelsea made up for the error at half-time by putting the black armbands on for the second-half.

And then, when the match kicked off, the Gunners - who finished 18 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League - were ahead inside four minutes.

Inexcusable in my opinion.
