Chelsea
will parade the Champions League trophy for the first time since being
crowned European champions in May ahead of next month's friendly against
London rivals Tottenham.
Chelsea are hosting Spurs in front of what the club hope will be a
near-capacity crowd at Stamford Bridge on August 4.
Ahead of kick-off, a member of the Chelsea squad will parade the trophy
around the pitch before being interviewed about their victory.
Chelsea won the Champions League for a second time in May after Kai
Havertz's first-half strike gave them a 1-0 victory over Manchester City in
Porto.
Spurs are yet to win European club football's biggest competition, although
they did reach the final in 2019, where they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool.
The friendly between Chelsea and Spurs is part of the Mind Series, which
also features Arsenal and will see the three London sides play friendlies
against each other ahead of the Premier League season.
Five pounds from each ticket sold for the fixtures will go to mental health
charity Mind, as well as the respective clubs' foundations.
Before their game against Spurs, Chelsea will travel to the Emirates Stadium
to play Arsenal on August 1.
Spurs will host their fixture against the Gunners, which will be the first
non-competitive north London derby since 1990.
