The FA Cup is the world's oldest football tournament and started in 1872. Today, the 140th final was played when Chelsea and Leicester clashed.
Wembley bathed in different shades of blue when 21,000 spectators were allowed to shout, cheer and boo in a way reminiscent of the time before the pandemic.
Chelsea tried to reconnect with the match, led by Thomas Tuchel, who aimed to become the first German coach to win the tournament.
Euphoric cheers
Leicester held tight, aware that they were the team that played the most finals - four - without winning the FA Cup.
Then Youri Tielemans stepped forward.
The second half was a quarter old when the midfielder took off and pushed a projectile towards the far cross.
1-0 - and euphoria in the stands.
Reflexively, Leicester almost fell to the knees of Kasper Schemichel - son of a certain Peter who won this tournament three times.
When Chelsea pressed, Schemichel made a brilliant one-handed save, but with one minute left of regular time, the bubble burst.
Doomed goal
Ben Chilwell, the former Leicester defender who plays for Chelsea and was outplayed, enlisted the help of two opponents to put 1-1 and celebrated wildly.
Then the referee found an offside on Chilwell and 1-0 stood.
A couple of nerve-wracking overtime minutes later, the match was over.
Leicester, in their first final since 1969, are FA Cup champions for the first time, with a teary-eyed Jamie Vardy in the eye of the storm.
The gold is another milestone in the club's history books and is combed home five years after the sensational Premier League title in 2016.
