Vialli did in 3 months what most managers dream of in a lifetime.
In only 3 short months since his appointment as player/manager, the legendary Gianluca Vialli has led Chelsea to an historic cup double. This video looks back on an incredible season for all at Stamford Bridge. In March, goals from Frank Sinclair and Roberto Di Matteo won the Coca-Cola Cup and then, on Wednesday 13th May, a sensational strike from Gianfranco Zola brought European glory back to London as Chelsea became the first British side to win the European Cup Winners Cup twice. Domestically, a strong Premiership campaign saw Chelsea finish 4th, an improvement on previous years. All the action from EVERY game is here with goals galore from your favourite Chelsea players, including Mark Hughes, Tore Andre Flo, Dan Petrescu and Steve Clarke.
Editing
Every goal from every game — pure 90s montage nostalgia.
Direction
Vialli and Gullit directing their own legend? Meta football poetry.
Director
Ruud Gullit
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ruud Gullit was sacked in February 1998 despite being a co-director; Vialli took over and immediately won everything. The directors' credit is basically a peace offering.
This was the last European Cup Winners' Cup ever played — Chelsea's victory killed the tournament by making it look too good to end. They literally won a competition into extinction.
