Chelsea is not a champions League title contender because they don't have the squad depth to do that as their players are young and inexperienced I know that most Chelsea fans are carried away by their recent success but that should not deceive them.
The champions League comprise of the best teams across Europe and will need more than just a young team with to win there is a whole lot of things to consider like having the right winning mentality, experience etc which this present Chelsea team doesn't have
I can remember hearing similar statements before the club world cup until chelsea beat the odds to lift the trophy, I can’t believe this statements are coming up again. Let me ask, what does it take to win the champions league because in my opinion it takes a group of talented players with determination and good tactics to win and Chelsea tick these boxes for me so I don’t really get it.
Sometimes these statements are made out of certain biases held against such club or for reasons of fanaticism, there are rival fans who will never believe certain club can ever win any trophy even when it becomes obviously clear to them that the chances are high that the trophy be won by the team, such a person still believes because it's their rivals they can never win. I have a friend who does not watch football games except when the team he is a fan of is playing, that is the only time you find him in front of a screen. Chelsea looks good this season and so expect anything with them.
