And the following season, Chelsea achieved their first major success on the domestic stage by winning the FA Cup. In the final match, Leeds United were beaten 2-1. This FA Cup triumph opened a new page in Chelsea's history. Gradually, the team gained a foothold in the First Division and, in 1970, won the league title for the first time. However, this achievement was overshadowed by the fact that a year later, Chelsea were relegated to the Second Division. Despite these ups and downs, Chelsea spent the first 70 years of their existence in the shadow of the major English giants.
