Separate games mean nothing. Maybe PSG was exhausted by the previous games plus everyone predicted an easy win for PSG and this led to the burnout of the PSG players. But even if Chelsea is really stronger than the best team of the season at the moment, this does not automatically mean good prospects ahead. Bookmakers quote Chelsea's chances of winning the title as 1 to 13. I think you will agree that against the background of City, which went into crisis, the fresh champion and Arsenal, which have passed their peak, this looks like a very weak quote.
I don't think they were exhausted because they played the same number of games as Chelsea even though they face tougher opponents it is not an excuse. If Chelsea can play the way they played then I think PSG didn't really prepared much for the game that was why Chelsea was the better team. I think Bookmakers were right because clearly PSG is stronger than Chelsea but since it was a final that was why the outcome was different. If it was to be in the group stage I don't think Chelsea would have approached the game in that manner.
That’s not an excuse at all, I think they were outclassed at their own game and prime and no excuses for it. Congratulations and well done to Chelsea for being able to win that game despite the odds that were against them and finally redeeming the EPL from humiliation from a farmer’s league side lol.
Yeah in football there is no excuse at all and especially in stages like this all teams are expected to be at their best. Chelsea did well and they deserve to be congratulated, when won when no one believes in them.
