Olivier Giroud became the first Chelsea player to score 11 goals in a single European campaign.

First season without a single suspension for either an accumulation of bookings or a red card in any competition since the advent of the Premier League in 1992/93.

First Premier League season since 2011/12 in which the Blues did not score from a direct free-kick.

At Leicester, Willy Caballero became the second oldest Chelsea player in the Premier League, aged 37 years and 225 days (Mark Schwarzer against Cardiff City on 11 May 2014 was 41 years and 216 days).

The 15-game unbeaten run in Europe set a new club record, beating the 14 set between 2008 and 2010.

Chelsea have now completed 18 Europa League matches unbeaten – a competition record.

The Blues played 63 games in all competitions, the third highest in our history behind 2012/13 (69) and 2006/07 (64).

The Europa League final in Baku was a repeat of the Champions League trip to play Qarabag last season, matching the furthest Chelsea have travelled for a game in European competition. It is 2,500 miles between London and Baku and flight time was five-and-a-half hours.

The win brought a 26th medal in the career of Pedro, who is now the only player to have won the World Cup, European Championship, Premier League, Champions League and Europa League.

Also against Arsenal, Eden Hazard became the first player to score twice for an English club in a UEFA final since Mark Hughes for Man United in the 1990/91 Cup Winners’ Cup. Fellow goalscorer Olivier Giroud is also the first player to score 11 goals in a UEFA campaign for a Premier League side since Alan Shearer for Newcastle in 2004/05.

Four players made their Chelsea debut in the 2018/19 season, taking the total number in our history to have played a senior competitive game to 741: Jorginho, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mateo Kovacic and Gonzalo Higuain.

Chelsea visited five new club stadiums for the first time in competitive action: Stadio Toumba, Salonika, Greece; Borisov Arena, Belarus; Groupama Arena, Budapest, Hungary; Malmo New Stadium, Sweden; and Commerzbank Arena, Frankfurt, Germany. The total of venues visited competitively since 1905 rose to 212.

In the Europa League final Chelsea played Arsenal for the 198th occasion in all competitions, more than we have played against any other club.

The Blues are now the most recent club to bring the following silverware to London:Europa League 2019FA Cup 2018Premier League 2017League Cup 2015Champions League 2012UEFA Super Cup 1998
