Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has been spotted rocking a classic Didier Drogba No.11 Chelsea shirt while enjoying his summer holiday — a moment that has caught the attention and appreciation of Blues fans everywhere.
The Spaniard, fresh from helping Chelsea lift both the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup, was seen proudly wearing the iconic blue shirt of one of Stamford Bridge’s greatest legends. His gesture comes as Chelsea players report back to Cobham today to begin pre-season under Enzo Maresca.
While it’s a light-hearted nod, it also highlights something deeper — a current player showing respect to a figure who helped build Chelsea’s modern legacy. Drogba’s name remains synonymous with big moments, silverware, and unmatched passion for the club.
A Fitting Tribute to a Chelsea Icon
Didier Drogba is not just any former player. He is:
- A 4-time Premier League champion
- The hero of the 2012 Champions League final
- Chelsea’s top-scoring foreign player for years
- And a player who defined clutch performances in big games
Cucurella’s choice to wear the shirt — while perhaps casual on the surface — is a reminder of how even today’s squad are deeply aware of the club’s rich history and the legends who wore the badge before them.

A New Era, With A Nodding Glance to the Past
With Chelsea enjoying their best form in years under Maresca and players like Cucurella, Palmer, and Hato stepping up as key figures, the club’s blend of youthful promise and respect for tradition feels stronger than ever.
Chelsea may be building for the future, but the legacy of Didier Drogba — and now the admiration he still commands — will never be forgotten.
