Football fans from Wolfsburg and Chelsea staged a Christmas-themed game at Molineux Stadium, where they added to the festive atmosphere by wearing Santa Claus costumes, turkey hats and other Christmas decorations. Some fans even jokingly dressed themselves up as Ebenezer Scrooge to make fun of the Assistant Referee (VAR) system. Despite the opposition of the fans, the Premier League's decision to schedule the match on Christmas Eve has been heavily criticised.
In 1995, Leeds United beat Manchester United 3-1, the last time a Premier League match was played on December 24. In the match between Wolfsburg and Chelsea, the home team won 2-1 and went neck with the Blues at the top of the table. VfL Wolfsburg currently sit in 11th place, just behind 10th-placed Chelsea on goal difference.
At the same time, a new perspective on Raheem Sterling's failure to take advantage of his chances emerged and became an important topic. Raheem Sterling had a chance to score a goal for Chelsea but couldn't capitalise on it. Overall, the festive spirit of Christmas reached its climax at the Molineux Stadium, with football fans joining in the festivities. Despite criticism for scheduling the match on Christmas Eve, supporters made the most of the occasion to spread festive cheer and add extra excitement to the game.
