Legendary Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic’s insane private trophy room has gone viral after a fan posted a tour of the museum online.
The now 42-year-old made 377 appearances for the Blues during a nine-year stint at the club from 2008 to 2017.
He enjoyed a hugely successful time with the west London side, winning ten trophies and becoming one of the club’s most decorated defenders.
As well as winning three Premier League titles he landed three FA Cups, the League Cup, the Community Shield and the Europa League. He also has a Champions League winners’ medal with the Blues, though the Serb did miss out on playing in the 2012 final after famously being told by Geoff Shreeves live on Sky Sports that he was suspended following their win over Barcelona in the semi-final.
Branislav Ivanovic won 10 trophies with Chelsea across nine years with the Blues
The Chelsea legend has built a private trophy room in his hometown of Sremska Mitrovica to rival any other
In a video posted to Instagram a fan from Ivanovic’s hometown Sremska Mitrovica explained he was allowed access to the private showroom and documented the breadth of trophies, personal honours and shirts he has collected throughout his illustrious career.
Many of the souvenirs are from his time in Russia with Lokomotiv Moscow and Zenit St Petersburg, as well as those he got at Chelsea.
The private museum holds over hundreds of shirts alone and has an entire wall adorned with shirts just given to him and signed by someone he either played with or played against including the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Javier Zanetti.
Most Chelsea fans will remember Ivanovic’s most crucial goals such as his winners in the Champions League round of 16 against Napoli and the 2013 Europa League final against Benfica.
And the Serbian appears to have made an effort to immortalise every single one of his club goals by framing and displaying a photo of all 42 from throughout his career.
Amongst other quirky designs, the room has a set of football leg stools for guests to sit on at the bar
Mourinho gets a mention having won the Premier League, Fa Cup and League cup with the Serbian in the 2014-15 season
There is also a replica of every trophy he has won in his career as well and a specialty ring he received as a gift from Didier Drogba after Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League triumph.
Ivanovic didn’t forget to add some style to the room by installing an LED football pitch to light the room and putting swanky football leg chairs at a fully stocked bar.
He even has a slide solely dedicated to displaying quotes from his former manager Jose Mourinho about him including the Special One’s description of Ivanovic as ‘The Perfect One’.
Since leaving Chelsea in 2017 the Serb moved back to Zenit St Petersburg before ending his career back in England with West Brom in 2021.
