The Spanish defender, who became a fan favourite during his successful spell in west London, was welcomed back ahead of derby day, bringing back memories of his outstanding service and leadership at Chelsea.
Azpilicueta was a key figure during one of the club's most successful periods, captaining the team and helping Chelsea secure major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League in 2021.
His return is a special moment for supporters who remember his commitment, consistency and passion for the blue shirt. Even after leaving the club, his connection with Chelsea remains strong.
