The Blues owner attended his first live game in Chelsea in nearly 15 months on Wednesday night.
The Russian billionaire had noticed the Blues in the flesh from a friendly opposite to Red Bull Salzburg in July 2019.
But after spending nearly 250 million pounds on new skills this summer, Chelsea’s owner was one of the other 11,000 players at Krasnodar Stadium to watch the Blues win 4-0.
After the match, Lampard said: “I was aware that he was in the game, obviously, which makes us happy.
“I’m sorry for the help of the club owner, whether I’m here for the games or not.
“Having him here is a big plus for me, for the team, and of course we’re very respectful of him. “
“I couldn’t see him because before the game he was in the locker room.
“Some members of my team spoke to him. When I left for the warm-up, he was gone.
“I’m very pleased to have achieved what we thought: smart functionality: 4 goals and a blank sheet in your home country, so I hope that satisfied you. “
Abramovich, whose current net worth is estimated at 9. 8 billion pounds, has visited Stamford Bridge for approximately 3 years due to visa disruptions.
But the 54-year-old saw inside the 34,074-seat stadium in Russia before the start.
He was given a close-up view of his new recruits for the first time, as well as his first live look at manager Frank Lampard.
And he was inspired by the new boy Hakim Ziyech, bought for 36 million pounds from Ajax, who first started after an injury and scored in an impressive performance.
The new boy Timo Werner, a 53 million pound signing, scored from the penalty spot, while the summer additions of Kai Havertz (70 million pounds) and Ben Chilwell (50 million pounds) also began.
Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, signed at 22 million pounds from Rennes, held his purpose post after his functionality opposed to Manchester United and kept a third consecutive blank sheet.
Mendy played against the world record holder of 71 million pounds, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who made the bench.
But even though Chelsea was spending money, Abramovich would have noticed that his net worth fell to 2. 4 billion pounds in the wake of the coronavirus crisis this summer.
The Chelsea owner has set foot in the UK since May 2018, when the UK government did not renew his visa after tensions between London and Moscow increased.
As a result of this decision, and with Abramovich now living in Israel, Stamford Bridge’s billion-pound redevelopment was suspended.
The project, which would demolish and rebuilt the stadium in a 60,000-seat headquarters, would still have a small chance of developing despite the expiry of the building permit in March.
