The Blues remain rooted in the eighth spot for the fourth consecutive year. Even though their revenue increased massively by €77.7m (from the €428m in 2017/18), it had no effect on their position.

€230.5m (46%) of the revenue was earned from Broadcast rights, €191.8m (38%) from Commercial sources, and €83.4m (16%) from Matchday earnings.

A return to the Champions League was a major reason for the bullish increase in revenue. The Blues also signed a new kit deal with Nike which bolstered their revenue further.

The team management agreed upon a major four-year shirt sleeve agreement with Hyundai as well.

The 2018/19 season is set to be a challenging year for Chelsea as they will not be playing Champions League football.
