Judging by the quality of their current squad, I agree that Chelsea isn't a contender for the Champions League title this season because some of their players are still quite young and inexperienced. However, if you look at the club's history, they have won the Champions League before, despite their performance declining significantly in the Premier League. Beating PSG in the Club World Cup doesn't guarantee Chelsea has a much better chance in the Champions League, as they sometimes play well and then miss opportunities to maintain consistency.
A team like Chelsea should not be underestimated, as they can still cause unexpected upsets in major competitions like the Champions League. And PSG experienced this in the Club World Cup, where they were completely humiliated by the team that won last season's Conference League. So, underestimating a team like Chelsea can sometimes be a fatal mistake, as Chelsea have been able to embarrass teams that won last season's Champions League in a competition that is no small feat.
Chelsea has proven most of their critics wrong when they defeated PSG in the club world cup finals to win the trophy I think any one who is still underestimating them has not watched them in recent teams cause I believe they can defeat any team they play against especially when they face a team that is under performing. Chelsea defeated
BilbaoReal Betis to win the conference league and they also trashed PSG to win the club world cup I believe they have proven themselves to be in perfect shape right now so no team should ever underestimate them.
