Chelsea could perform well in the Champions League this year. They won the Conference League last year and defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the summer tournament to win the title. There's serious expectation from them for next year's competition in both the English Premier League and the Champions League. They haven't won their first match in the Premier League. I'm really curious to see how they'll do in the Champions League. I expect them to advance at least one round.
It is obvious that Chelsea has all it takes to perform extraordinarily well in the champions league this season considering their new status as the reigning FIFA CWC champions and also the calibre of young players in the squad, more also they have a very good record in this competition winning it twice in several attempts so I think they would do well especially after missing out of the competition for sometime.
