Chelsea players and staff celebrated their Europa League triumph just as their manager would've wanted – with tobacco.
Eden Hazard, who inspired the Blues to a 4-1 victory over Arsenal in Baku, was pictured smoking a massive cigar as he bid farewell to the Blues.
The Belgian admitted he will probably join Real Madrid this summer – but not before one last celebration with his team-mates to cap off a trophy-laden Chelsea career.
Goalkeeping coach Hilario shared photos and videos of the raucous post-match scenes, with Hazard at the centre of proceedings.
One of the pictures featured Hazard and a cigar next to Hilario drinking from a beer bottle with the Europa League trophy between them.
Another showed Maurizio Sarri and his coaching staff, including Gianfranco Zola, enjoying a smoke.
Sarri arrived in England with a reputation for chain smoking and often chews cigarette butts on the touchline.
Tobacco is more tolerated in Italian football, and a group of journalists from Italy even gifted Sarri a box of cigarettes after the thrashing of Arsenal.
