Ryan Reynolds reacts after Wrexham push Chelsea in the FA Cup
Ryan Reynolds on X shared his thoughts after Wrexham’s hard-fought FA Cup battle with Chelsea.
“Three years ago this week, we battled Maidenhead United to a draw. Today we pushed Chelsea to extra time. So incredibly proud of Wrexham’s performance today,” Reynolds wrote.
The post highlighted just how far the club has come since Reynolds and McElhenney purchased Wrexham in 2020.
From National League fixtures to pushing a Premier League side deep into extra time, the journey has been remarkable. For Reynolds, the performance itself mattered as much as the final result.
Wrexham’s performance vs. Chelsea in the FA Cup tie
The FA Cup fifth-round clash ended with Chelsea securing a 4-2 victory after extra time.
Wrexham twice threatened to cause a major upset as they matched Chelsea for long periods during the match.
The Championship side showed resilience and attacking intent, forcing the Premier League team to work far harder than many expected.
However, Chelsea’s depth ultimately proved decisive during extra time. Even in defeat, Wrexham’s performance reinforced the progress the club has made during its rapid climb through the English football pyramid.
