Right, the guests are in their seats, the club representatives have assembled themselves, and we are ready to go in Monaco.

Through last season's best bits we rattle, through goals long forgotten by even the most hardcore of Europa League fans, and eventually we see the lively hoisting of the trophy by Chelsea in Baku. 

Proper business now - the awarding of the Europa League Player of the Season.

[30 August 2019 12:05 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

The nominees are: Olivier Giroud, Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic.

[30 August 2019 12:07 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Eden Hazard is the 2018/19 Europa League Player of the Season

[30 August 2019 12:08 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Hazard is not in Monaco to collect his award, but he delivers a pre-recorded two-line thank you.

Not even a single clap of applause as the host congratulates him. Onwards we go...

Ashley Cole has been brought out for a chat, with the former left-back excited to start his coaching career with Chelsea's under-15s.

Short but sweet. He reminisces briefly about Chelsea's Europa League win of 2013, and then strides into the shadowy corners at the back of the stage.
