In a disappointing turn of events, Armando Broja has become the first Chelsea player to be eliminated from EURO 2024. The Albanian striker and his national team were knocked out of the tournament following a 2-1 defeat against Switzerland in the final group stage match.

Broja, who had high hopes of making a significant impact in the tournament, struggled to find his form amidst strong competition. Despite showing flashes of his talent and contributing to Albania’s efforts, the team was unable to secure the necessary points to advance to the knockout stages.

Albania’s campaign in EURO 2024 saw them placed in a challenging group alongside powerhouses such as France and Italy, in addition to Switzerland. The team managed to secure a win against Italy, thanks to Broja’s decisive goal, but their defeats to France and Switzerland sealed their fate.

Chelsea fans had been watching Broja’s performances closely, hoping to see their young forward shine on the international stage. Unfortunately, with Albania’s early exit, Broja will be returning to Stamford Bridge sooner than expected. Despite the early elimination, Chelsea supporters remain optimistic about Broja’s potential and look forward to his contributions in the upcoming Premier League season.

Broja’s exit from the tournament marks a bittersweet moment as he will now focus on preparing for the pre-season with Chelsea, aiming to build on his experiences from EURO 2024 and bring valuable lessons back to his club.

As the EURO 2024 continues, Chelsea’s remaining players in the tournament will be under increased scrutiny as they aim to make a mark and possibly lift the trophy for their respective countries.
