One London club decided to "support" another, but in a way that clearly highlights how different neighbors in the capital can be. Chelsea sent a peculiar "greeting" to Arsenal on social media regarding the "Gunners" participation in the Champions League final.

We remind you that Arsenal's participation in the most prestigious European club tournament ended with a dramatic loss in the final to Paris Saint-Germain after a penalty shootout. The "Gunners" defeat became an occasion for a "well-intentioned greeting" to the losing rival to appear from Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea used their social media profiles to joke about the play of Arsenal's players while simultaneously drawing attention to their own successes in the Champions League. The club invited fans to evaluate "their" work in the tournament by inviting them to visit the club's trophy museum.

The "Blues" did not miss the chance to remind everyone that they possess the Champions League trophy – the accolade that Arsenal is still chasing. The cup was demonstratively shown in photos accompanying the post, in which Chelsea emphasizes its own achievements on the European stage.

Thus, under the guise of a "greeting," the city rival reminded Arsenal that there is a club in London that has already conquered the peak of the Champions League – and chose to do so with a typical London sense of humor.
