This shirt was worn by Hernan Crespo during the second half of the pre-season “World Series 2005” tournament’s game between A.C.Milan and Chelsea which took place in Foxboro, Massachusetts, Gillette Stadium, on July 24th 2005. The shirt was swapped by Hernan Crespo with an A.C.Milan player who we got it from. This shirt also represents the 100th Anniversary’s shirt of Chelsea which took place in 2005. In summer 2005, after Chelsea’s failed attempts to land a big-name striker, Mourinho needed competition for striker Didier Drogba and decided to recall Crespo from A.C. Milan, convincing him that he had a future in England. Crespo made his first return appearance in a 2–1 FA Community Shield win over Arsenal. He scored his first league goal of 2005 against newly promoted Wigan Athletic in the 93rd minute of Chelsea’s season opener in a 1–0 win, with a left foot curler into the top corner from 25 yards. The 2005–06 league title was Crespo’s first league title victory in European football.

After the departure of Damien Duff to Newcastle United, Drogba switched from the number 15 shirt he had worn for Chelsea since 2004 to the number 11 shirt vacated by Duff. The season was a personal success for Drogba as he hit 33 goals in all competitions (more than his tally in the previous two seasons combined), including 20 in the Premier League to win the Golden Boot. In doing so, he became the first Chelsea player since Kerry Dixon in 1984–85 to reach 30 goals in a season, scoring 20 in the Premier League, six in the Champions League, three in the FA Cup and four in the League Cup. Among the highlights were scoring game-winners from outside the penalty area against Liverpool, Everton and Barcelona, a 93rd-minute equaliser against Barcelona at the Camp Nou and both Chelsea’s goals in their 2–1 League Cup final win over Arsenal. He also completed two hat-tricks; one against Watford and the other against Levski Sofia in the Champions League, Chelsea’s first hat-trick in European competition since Gianluca Vialli in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1997. In his last competitive game that season, he scored the winning goal over Manchester United in the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium. This also meant that he joined Norman Whiteside (Manchester United in 1983) and Mark Hughes (Manchester United in 1994) as players who have scored goals in both English domestic finals in the same year, although Drogba was the first player to end up on the winning team after scoring in both finals. In January 2007, Drogba was named the Ivorian Player of the Year, ahead of Kader Keïta, Aruna Dindane, and Kolo Touré. In March, he was named African Footballer of the Year for the first time, ahead of Samuel Eto’o and Chelsea teammate Michael Essien. His performances during the season saw him named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and runner-up to Cristiano Ronaldo in the PFA Player of the Year awards. Drogba faced problems off the pitch during the end of the season as his transfer from Marseille to Chelsea in July 2004 came under scrutiny. The Stevens inquiry in June 2007 expressed concerns because of the lack of co-operation from agents Pinhas Zahavi and Barry Silkman.

This shirt was worn by Cristopher Nkunku during the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 game between Chelsea and ES Tunis which took place in Philadelphia, “Lincoln Financial Field” on June 24th 2025. Chelsea defeated ES Tunis 3-0. All the shirts from this game were auctioned after the game in the Team official auction’s platform MatchWornShirt. The shirt is very recognizable from game’s footages. The shirt is hand signed on the back. On 20 June 2023, Nkunku signed for Premier League club Chelsea on a six-year deal starting 1 July 2023. The transfer fee was reported to be £52 million. On 8 August, it was announced that he had undergone surgery for a knee injury sustained during a pre-season match and would be out for an extended period, thereby missing the start of the season. He finally made his debut on 19 December 2023 against Newcastle United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, scoring a penalty in the 4–2 shoot-out win after the match finished 1–1. Five days later, he made his Premier League debut away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, coming off the bench during the second half and scoring a late goal in a 2–1 defeat for Chelsea. On 31 January 2024, he scored again against Liverpool in a 4–1 loss at Anfield. On 24 September, Nkunku scored a hat-trick against EFL League Two side Barrow A.F.C. in the third round of the EFL Cup, helping the Blues to a 5–0 victory.

This shirt was issued for Malo Gusto for the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 Final between Chelsea and PSG. The shirt comes from the Club official auction’s platform where we got it from. The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final was the final match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the 21st edition of the premier competition for men’s club soccer teams organized by FIFA. The match was played at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City, on July 13, 2025. This final was the first since 2000 to be contested by two teams from the same confederation—the only previous Club World Cup to feature multiple teams from the same association or country—and the first ever to feature two European teams. Chelsea won the match 3–0 for their second FIFA Club World Cup title and the first under the new format as all previous Club World Cup winners from 2000-2023 and all Intercontinental Cup winners (from 1960-2004 and again since 2024) are now recognized as FIFA Intercontinental Cup champions. On 29 January 2023, Chelsea announced the signing of Malo Gusto on a deal until 2030. Lyon reported the transfer fee to be €30m plus €5m in bonuses. He was loaned back to Lyon until the end of the 2022–23 season. On 13 August, he made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Liverpool in Chelsea’s opening match of the 2023–24 season. On 24 September, he was shown his first red card in his career after Jarred Gillett went to the VAR monitor to review a late challenge he made on Lucas Digne in their home defeat to Aston Villa. Gusto is seen as an agile and offensively minded player, ever since playing eight-a-side football at Villefontaine, and he first played as an attacking midfielder or a forward. While he was at the Lyon academy he played in several different positions, including wide midfielder, advanced playmaker, and right winger. He eventually settled as a right back, where he took full advantage of his speed and athleticism.
