The hype is building for Chelsea’s Champions League final against Manchester City tonight, and the celebrity Blues fans are out in force.

Of course the former players lead the charge – Diego Costa, Pedro and Michael Ballack have all used their social media to lend their support to Thomas Tuchel’s team.

But there are plenty of others chipping in too – from actor Matthew McConaughey to a bunch of excited schoolkids in Fulham waving blue flags.

Then of course there’s the man himself, the man who won us our last Champions League final – Didier damn Drogba. If you can’t be inspired by him, who can you be inspired by?

As the day wears on and we get closer to kickoff, expect to see the Chelsea Twitter feed flooded with more messages of support from well known Blues all around the world.

Then things will go quiet as everyone settles down to watch the big game. Nervous yet? we are…
