The 2010–11 season is Chelsea Football Club's 96th competitive season, 19th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 105th year in existence as a football club. They went into the Premier League as the defending champions, but failed to retain it.

The season was managed by their 2009–10 Double-winning manager Carlo Ancelotti, but his association with the club would be broken off, having been sacked at the end of this season. Chelsea started off the season with an amazing five-consecutive-wins run in the Premier League, which was eventually halted by Man City when City skipper Carlos Tevez scored to lead his side into a 1–0 triumph over the defending champions. Chelsea were leading the Premier League table for almost half a season, before Manchester United overtook them when they went through their worst run in the club's history during the winter saga. Altogether in the Premier League, they won 21 games, drew 8 and lost 9. They conceded the least amount of goals compared to all the other clubs, sharing this with the club which first beat them, Manchester City.

In January 2011, on the last day of the transfer window, Chelsea bought Fernando Torres for a club-record-breaking and British-record-breaking fee of £50 million from Liverpool.[1] They also bought defender David Luiz from Benfica for a fee reportedly to be £21 million.[2] However, Torres would not repay the club in form of goals for another 903 minutes until he scored against West Ham, which marked the start of Chelsea's final chance of staging the Premier League's best comeback. The comeback was destroyed by a 2-1 away loss to United, in which Javier Hernández and Nemanja Vidić scored.

Replays later show that all of the ball had not crossed the line, but the goal is given. Then substitute Salomon Kalou, with minutes to go, stabs in Didier Drogba's fluffed shot from close range.

UEFA Champions League

Chelsea's starting XI v Spartak Moscow at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow

Chelsea will look to improve on their 2009-10 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 exit against eventual winners Internazionale. By virtue of winning the 2009–10 Premier League, Chelsea has automatically qualified for the group stage of the tournament.

Group stage

The draw for the group stage was held on 26 August 2010 in Monaco. Chelsea was paired with 2009-10 French Ligue 1 champions Marseille as well as Russian Premier League's, Spartak Moscow and MŠK Žilina of the Slovakian Corgoň Liga. Chelsea's first match took place on the 15 September against MŠK Žilina at Stadium Pod Dubňom in which they won 4-1. They then went on to face Marseille at Stamford Bridge in which they won 2-0 by way of a John Terry goal off of a corner and a Nicolas Anelka penalty. They then went on to face Russian side Spartak Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium, the stadium in which Chelsea lost to Manchester United on penalties in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final. Chelsea won the match 2-0 by way of a long distance strike by Russian Yuri Zhirkov for his first competitive goal for the club paired with a second half goal from inside the penalty area by Nicolas Anelka. They then returned home to face the Russian side at Stamford Bridge on the 3 November in which Chelsea won 4-1 by way of goals by Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba, and a Branislav Ivanović brace to claim first in the group. On Matchday 5, Chelsea outfitted with a mix of first team regulars and youth, took on MŠK Žilina at Stamford Bridge. After an early goal scored by Babatounde Bello for the away side, Chelsea climbed back to secure a 2-1 win with a goal by Daniel Sturridge in the 51st and a winner by Florent Malouda in the 86th minute. In the final match of the group stage, Chelsea looked to win and become the first Chelsea team to go a perfect 6 for 6 in the group stage of the Champions League but failed to do so losing 1-0 to Marseille at Stade Vélodrome. Chelsea finished group play with a record of 5-0-1 on 15 points claiming top spot in the group and advancing to the Round of 16.
