It was another unsatisfying season for Chelsea, who failed to make much of an impact in the league but once again enjoyed a memorable cup run. They entered the
Cup Winners' Cup after a 23-year exile from European competitions, and reached the semi-finals where they went out to a single
Real Zaragoza goal, ending their hopes of an all-English final with
Arsenal. The summer of 1995 saw manager
Glenn Hoddle bring in two of the most famous names in world football,
Ruud Gullit and
Mark Hughes. He also terminated the contract of misfit striker
Robert Fleck as well as deciding to end his own playing career. The only other significant change to the squad was the sale of out-of-favour midfielder
David Hopkin to
Crystal Palace. ==Final league table==
