Rafa Benitez chose not to participate in Chelsea's end-of-season lap of honour despite their 2-1 Premier League victory over Everton ensuring his final competitive match at the club ended on a high.


'It's for the families and the players,' said Benitez, who will overlook two end-of-season friendlies against Manchester City in America before finally departing.

What a week, EL and 3rd place.. Couldn't ask for more after all things went the wrong way with us this season..

So that makes two lesser seasons ending with three big cups, what will we archieve when we have a good season again next year?

So looking forward to 13/14!!

What a great way to finish the season. 6 wins and 2 draws in our last premier league games! And those matches include away matches to United and Liverpool and home games against Tottenham and Everton. We finished 3rd paving the way for exciting summer chasing top players and the return of The Special One. Oh and not to mention winning a prestigious European trophy as well. With all the positives from the last two months, the season doesn't feel all that bad :)

Nice end of season game in the end. Nice sunshine, people in their new kits and generally a good mood around the place. The videos seem to be popping up online of the lap and it was a beautiful moment for everyone. There's a real sense of family and pride at this club that's been enhanced by people like Lampard, and I'm so glad he's staying for another season now. Just compare it to the City lap of....whatever for a comparison.

The match itself was a nice little contest in the end. Great to see Ake get his first full start and he really grew into the game as it went on. If bringing this kid on was Rafa's only legacy (which it isn't) then I think we'd look back in a few years and say well done (although some people never will because he said some mean words when managing a different club).

Nice to see Torres score too and hopefully that makes him a little bit easier to sell in the summer. Part of me was thinking that he could stick around, but I think this recent purple patch is too good to cash in on. At least if he does go there will be better feeling attached.

Had a tear in my eye when Paulo came out too. It's felt like he's been on his farewell tour for a few years now, but he's just a great pro who always gave his all for this club and seemed to enjoy every moment of it. There are certain players who might not have been involved yesterday who could do with an ounce of that type of dedication.

So a nice end of term get together, played in relaxed conditions for the first time in six months and a nice way to put a full stop on this chapter of Chelsea's history before starting a new one. After moaning for months that I wanted this season over, now I just want the new one to start.
