Twenty-five years on, what does Franco Maradona’s Chelsea record mean?
The Argentine’s final Chelsea season came in 2037/38, but the numbers still command attention.
Football’s great clubs can make excellence look routine. Chelsea have just extended their English Premier Division title run to 41 seasons, but that modern abundance should not blur the scale of Franco Maradona’s own contribution.
Twenty-five years after his last season at the club, Maradona’s Chelsea career stands at 372 goals in 784 games, with 209 assists. Those figures tell a formidable story; they also carry the weight of a career that ended at its Chelsea peak in 2037/38. The English Daily revisited what he meant to the club last month. Today, the anniversary is a reminder that even in an era of seemingly endless Chelsea success, some standards remain distinctly personal.
