The season is ending and it seems nothing changed at Stamford Bridge even with some excellent performances from the Blues over the past couple of months. Fans are still unhappy with Benitez even if he managed to win the Europa League trophy and he has managed Chelsea to 3rd in the Premier League standings. The Spaniard’s period spent with Liverpool was just too much for Chelsea supporters to take. That and the fact that the Blues missed out on both their most important goals of the season really contributed to the conflicts that were constantly present within the club.
After Benitez spent one of the most fatiguing seasons in Chelsea’s history trying to get the fans’ approval, he declared that he has not yet made up this his mind regarding his actions when it comes to the traditional lap of honor the Blues have every year. Even if the Spaniard declared that only a small group of fans have an issue with him, he is still doubtful regarding his appearance next to the players after the Everton match.
According to Metro, the former Liverpool manager will probably avoid the spotlight on Sunday, leaving the players to carry out the traditional lap of honor. Benitez is clearly frustrated with the fact that even after winning the Europa League he is still booed by Chelsea fans. He spoke about his collaboration with the club and came off pretty happy with the way things turned out in terms of performance.
When it comes to the last game of the season, Benitez said he is 100% concentrated and so are his players. This is the last hurdle to overcome after the longest season in Chelsea history. A win over Everton will secure 3rd place and will also guarantee the Blues that this is the last match of the season. If they finish in a draw and Arsenal win, chances are a play-off will take place considering both teams will finish with the exact same number of points.
