Stamford Bridge — The entry incorrectly claims Stamford Bridge was the stage for Champions League triumphs, as neither the 2012 nor 2021 finals were hosted there.
Blue is the Colour — The single peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1972, not April 1972.

FA Cup Victory Under Ruud Gullit 1997 — The statement that the 1997 FA Cup was Chelsea's 'first major prize since 1970' is factually inaccurate because it omits their 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup victory, which is a recognized major trophy; the text should specify 'domestic' to be correct.
