Chelsea made a truly magnificent start to this season. Their resounding victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final will likely be forgotten by the end of the year. The events that followed also made it impossible to forget. Paris Saint-Germain were clearly the favorites before the match, and many, even over 80% of betting enthusiasts, were betting on that result. However, Chelsea achieved a very low probability of winning by three goals, securing a Premier League title that will be a threat to other teams. They could now be a Premier League title contender because they've learned how to play in big matches.
I wouldn’t rush to predict that they’re ready to win the Premier League. Sure, what they did in the final against PSG was very impressive, but it’s just a preseason tournament. How well they’ll prepare for the new season and whether they’ll avoid a drop in form is still something we have yet to see. I think Chelsea can fight for a Champions League spot, but only if things work out in their favor. And if City continue to have issues, and Liverpool don’t have such an easy season, then I agree Chelsea could have more opportunities to compete with those teams.
