Even if Manchester City choose to play with their second team, they will still be able to win Chelsea. Chelsea is not a team that can stand Manchester City as it is. That's why Pep Guardiola find it worth while to rest Kelvin De Bruyne and Haaland since they have already won the premier league and also in the finals of champions league. Rest their key players will do them good for the champion league match against Inter.
What Chelsea need is a good coach that utilize their players in a better way not more players in additions to the ones they have. There no reports of Chelsea moving to sign Neymar into the team.
I have to give it to Pep Gardiola and Manchester City for a job well done. Congratulations to them on winning the English premier league and it is well deserved. One of their treble trophy target has been achieved, now their focus would be turned to FA cup and UEFA champions league. City played it's second 11 team and won against the struggling Chelsea side. I just hope we're going to see a brand new version and rejuvenated Chelsea next season because this particular Chelsea has finished. 😄
Chelsea is a rather young team in the Premier League. The average age of their team is ranked 6th in the league with Arsenal being first (24.6 years) and Fulham being the last (27.9 years). Rejuvenation isn't the problem. They finally need a coach and players who are absolutely willing to put in the effort to be successful. It was never seen in soccer that a club spent so much money on transfers and couldn't even qualify for the European tournaments, not even the Conference League. Those sunk costs are higher than everything else we have ever seen.
