Our final official pre-season friendly is the first at Bridge this summer, and the first since winning the Champions League final on May 29. As there was no real victory parade due to the pandemic, the trophy will be presented in the stadium before kick-off. -off today.
That should be the only reason to look forward to this game, however friendly (at least in name) against Spurs. Nice to see Tino Anjorin and Ethan Ampadu on the bench, and of course T’Chalobah getting a fresh start!
