A Liverpool player has named Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge as one of his favourite stadiums.
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has played in some of the world’s biggest and best arenas.
In fact, only three weeks ago he helped the Reds to a 2-0 victory away to Inter Milan at the famous San Siro in Italy.
However, speaking to Amazon Prime, the Netherlands international name-checked Chelsea’s home as among his favourites.
He said: “I like playing in every stadium, St Mary’s, the Emirates, Stamford Bridge, Elland Road, Villa Park – I am just enjoying playing football in any stadium, whether it’s hostile or quiet. It’s our fans that have the better of the stadium.”
The West Londoners’ home can indeed be electric at times.
However, sanctions this afternoon might change the complexion during Chelsea home games for the foreseeable future.
Roman Abramovich’s links to Russia President Vladimir Putin has seen the billionaire Blues owner slapped with massive penalties, which includes the sale of the club being put on hold.
In addition to that, only existing ticket holders – including those who owns season passes – can attend Stamford Bridge.
According to Sky News, it is ‘unclear’ as to whether or not away supporters will be allowed to purchase tickets to Chelsea matches.
