A competition that started with over 736 teams has finally shrinked to only two privileged teams that will now battle it out on the first of August in a winner takes it all encounter at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The FA Cup is so special because of the many surprises it has pulled over the years, popping out less fancied teams that go all the way to lift the trophy. But that is not the case this time, the big boys came prepared. Chelsea has in recent times become a force to reckon with in the competition having won it eight times. 25 years ago, They had just an FA Cup trophy to their name, in a win against Leeds United. But from 1997 to 2018, they have amassed over eight trophies, four of them coming from 2006 to 2018 A period recognized as a transition era for the Blues.  This placed them on the pedestal of the elites in a competition in which they have been so good over the years. The Stamford Bridge outfit has recently woken up from their slumber and once again since their retu...
