Who broke Chelsea’s unbeaten run?

Liverpool

The controversial penalty shootout defeat to Liverpool in May 2007 that ended their hopes of reaching their first Champions League final was one of the most heartbreaking losses of Chelsea’s unbeaten run at home.

They faced Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third time in four seasons and had a scoreless draw at Anfield in the first leg. In the second leg at Stamford Bridge, they took an early lead through Joe Cole, but Liverpool equalized through Daniel Agger

The game went to extra time and then to penalties. Chelsea missed three of their four penalties, while Liverpool scored four out of five. It was a controversial and agonizing defeat that denied Chelsea their first Champions League final appearance and ended their unbeaten run at home at 86 games.

Many Chelsea fans and players felt robbed by dubious refereeing decisions favoring Liverpool.

CONCLUSION

Chelsea FC had the longest unbeaten run at home in English top-flight history with 86 matches under Jose Mourinho. This remarkable achievement reflects their consistency, competitiveness, and excellence as a football club. During this period, they won three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, and two League Cups.

They also scored 201 goals and conceded only 36 goals at Stamford Bridge. They faced many challenges and obstacles but also had many highlights and achievements. They showed their resilience and character as well as their dominance and quality.

Liverpool eventually broke their record in January 2021 after losing to Burnley at Anfield. However, Chelsea’s unbeaten run at home remains one of the most impressive feats in football history.
