Chelsea is a really interesting team when it comes to the Champions League. They always seem the underdog in this tournament. But they are always one of the teams to be careful against in the Champions League. Because they have played completely different here for long years. It is like they have been caring about this title more than the Premier League title in the meantime. I don't see other explanation to their success here in the recent years. We can give the 2020/21 season as an example for this. While not many people were thinking of them to win the CL title they just made it.
You're right for saying we cared about the champions league more than the premier league. At some point winning the premier league was quite easy for the club but the champions league wasn't that easy which is why we focused more energy here to get another one which we successfully did with the most underrated team in history to win the tournament. I mean we won the competition with just academy boys and a new coach. At that time it was really a surprised especially as we played against an informed Manchester city at the finals. Although the match wasn't against Manchester united, still it brought back memories of when we got defeated by United in the 2008 edition that was meant to be the year we won the competition first.
Atleast we have done some payback to their brother club as we patiently wait for our revenge in the future that's if Manchester united can get their shit right and be the top club they were ones was. This season I still can't rule out the chances of we winning the competition again even though we haven't been as brilliant as we should be on the pitch with the talents that we have. You can see how the Chelsea players are giving in 'Man of the match' performance at the world cup but can't do such in Chelsea and it just keep me wondering if we have the right coach for the job.
