The Champions League has also become more challenging. Sometimes, matches we'd normally see in the semifinals or finals are now in the knockout round of eight. Chelsea must first get through this stage. Then, their title chances can be discussed. Their victory over Paris Saint-Germain is on everyone's lips. Therefore, teams will be taking extra precautions against them, especially Palmer.
The Champions League has become so challenging these days that the dominant battles that used to take place in the semi-finals and finals are now played out in the knockout stages, so it can be said that Chelsea Football Club must cope well with this stage and then increase their chances of winning the UCL Trophy. They have recently been able to take home the trophy at the Club World Cup because of this, their victory is now in everyone's face and every team now sees them as a threat, so maybe everyone will try to deal with them properly, therefore Palmer and the new players joining this transfer summer will have to step up to a higher level of responsibility. But it is safe to say that Cole Palmer may be able to show off his experience as he is currently playing at the same pace in friendly matches.
Competitions are meant to be tough, I love what these competitions are becoming and not when there were obvious favorites in matches, recently, everybody including the perceived underdogs are all putting up a fight to claim some recognition. even the community shield was stolen from Liverpool by Crystal Palace once again reminding the favorites that no one has a birthright to any trophy anymore. In the coming season a lot of surprises would unfold and unimaginable teams would stand up to stronger teams leaving the perceived stronger teams to fight hard to reclaim their dominance. Chelsea is in form, same as many other teams that qualified for the UCL, for every of them, full time of play would decide, so let's brace up to watch, gamble and get entertained.
Football must be like this, everything else is a game already decided at the table and it becomes boring, I really appreciate this new change that is happening in football, there are many teams that are coming up that were nothing before, this thing is very positive
