The Europa League semi-final against Frankfurt was Chelsea's 61st game of the season.
LONDON: Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri said it was tough for English clubs to reach the end of the season in the sort of shape required to win trophies because they have to play so many more matches than their European rivals.
Chelsea will meet fellow London side Arsenal in the Europa League final on May 29 before Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur in another all-English final in the more prestigious Champions League in Madrid on June 1. “We play more than other countries. We played match 61 today. It’s a big difference with other countries.”
