FA Cup 1996-1997Chelsea
About this print
Roberto Di Matteo scored from 25 yards after 43 seconds, then the fastest goal in a Wembley FA Cup final, and Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 2-0 for their first major trophy in 26 years. Fabrizio Ravanelli limped off after 21 minutes and Eddie Newton finished a Gianfranco Zola flick seven minutes from time. Middlesbrough, in their first final, had already lost the League Cup final and been relegated.

About Champs Ring prints
Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one season's knockout rounds as rings, with the champion at the center.
