Arguably the most successful English club of the last 15 years, Chelsea saw a massive upturn in their fortunes following their 2003 takeover by billionaire Roman Abramovich, with the Russian going on a spending spree which saw him mold the club into not just English but also European superpowers.

A common jibe among rival fans is that The Blues had no history before the arrival of Abramovich and this much is evident in the manner of their FA Cup wins, as a cursory glance at the years of their triumphs shows that five of their eight victories came after Abramovich took over the club, which is the same story with their triumphs in other competitions.

With the London club still having some of the best players in the world within its ranks, such as Eden Hazard, as well as the clout to attract even more world-class players, fans of Chelsea can be confident that the club's dominance would still continue for some time yet.
