Chelsea fans joke about 'Xabiball' after clean-sheet win
Original: Bukan Xabiball namanya kalau cleansheet # yangpentingmenghibur 5e1ebrating last night's well-deserved win ๐ # CHELSE4MAN
Chelsea supporters are celebrating a Premier League win that also ended with a clean sheet, joking in Indonesian that with such a defensive result the style can hardly be called 'Xabiball' anymore. The phrase references Xabi Alonso's reputation for possession-heavy, controlled football, and fans are using it to mock and praise their team's solid, entertaining performance overnight.
Why now: Chelsea's clean-sheet win prompted fans to joke about the team's style in comparison to Xabi Alonso's football.
