Unless Chelsea's winning mentality changes after the international break, then we can we can be hopeful that they can do something in their UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter with Real Madrid because for now, don't see them as major contender for the biggest football trophy in Europe.
We are never contenders until we win the title. In 2021, were we seen as title contenders? No. Nobody usually believe us that we can it until we do it. People are acting like Real Madrid can't be defeated and they're forgetting that out of our last 4 encounters with Real Madrid, we have won twice and drew one. We won then the last time we meet so it won't be difficult to replicate that success. We might be playing badly but that's in the premier league and not the champions league. We actually have a decent record in the champions league this season even though we are in the worst form we have ever been in the last 20years.
Even though we lose against Real Madrid, it won't be without a fight. We'll surely make them work for it and if they think they can performs those comeback they did in 2022 to win the premier league giants to lift the trophy, I'm sorry to disappoint the fans as that won't be happening this season. I don't even see Real Madrid as title contenders this season. Looking at each teams road to the finals, Napoli are actually the favorites although I still stand behind my club and I know the task ahead of us isn't impossible to achieve.
