Honestly, I’m still not that convinced. Yeah, Chelsea beat PSG, but the premier league is a whole different level. Every team in the EPL pretty much knows Chelsea’s weaknesses. They’ve played each other so many times, teams like Liverpool already know how to deal with them. It’s not like the CWC game where Chelsea faced PSG; they barely ever play each other, maybe just once in the champions league a few years back. So for me, Chelsea’s performance boost doesn’t mean much, it only shows in non league matches. That said, I do get that Chelsea could improve in the EPL, even if the results don’t change much.
You're making a good point especially when you said teams in the EPL knows their weakness since they've played them on several occasions, yeah that's true there's no doubt about that statement but don't you think Chelsea's upgrade in their depth would give them a boost ahead of next season, I hope you saw how it helped them in that finals? I'm not saying they'll win the league cause they won almighty PSG but atleast they'll be a tough team to play against and I expect them to still finish in the top 4 as strong contenders next season, winning two important trophies alone is enough to boost the morale of Chelsea players ahead of next season.
I'm even confident Chelsea will be able to compete at the top for the title next season. We must look at the whole picture and acknowledge that Chelsea's performance has improved significantly since Maresca took over as manager, and Chelsea's success in winning the Club World Cup is clear evidence of their resurgence.
I also realize that the Premier League is much more competitive, especially with the longer season, making the competition even tougher, but I won't underestimate Chelsea.
