The matchday programme for our game against Shamrock Rovers features an interview with Marc Guiu, who is also the cover star of this issue.

The young Spanish striker retraces his career path up to now, which began with a long stint in Barcelona’s academy and included an unforgettable debut for the club, before he moved to Chelsea in the summer.

Guiu has enjoyed himself in the Conference League so far this term, scoring twice away at Astana after opening his goalscoring account as a Blue in our thumping win over Noah last month.

The programme also includes an interview with Paddy Mulligan, who played for Chelsea and Shamrock Rovers in the Sixties and Seventies, and was involved in the Blues’ first-ever European triumph when we beat Real Madrid in the 1971 European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Then there's the final instalment of the Maiden Voyages series that looks back at the club’s first matches in various continental competitions, with the focus in this issue on our maiden outings in the European Super Cup and the Champions League proper at the end of the Nineties.

On top of that, you can hear the latest from head coach Enzo Maresca, captain Reece James and columns from the Women’s and Academy set-ups, plus stats and facts from club statistician Paul Dutton.
