Yes, Chelsea was the team who stopped PSG from winning the tournament, but they also lost to Botafogo in the group stage, despite some people believed that it was a fixed game, PSG they knew would not lose if the match was important to them. PSG may still win the Champions League back to back with the previous squad, but it seems that they still want to strengthen their squad after the defeat against Chelsea, as they just signed two new players.

However, Luis Enrique understands how to manage his club, and I'm sure they will need more players for the upcoming season. After the pressure of last season, most of their important players may not be at the same level since they need more time to relax and return to their best form. Chelsea is another team that we cannot write off in the Champions League this season, I believe they have the strength to win it.
Chelsea still have to prove how good they can be in the Champions League, despite the fact that they won the Club World Cup, no one took this tournament seriously, perhaps with the exception of the last playoff games, but the tournament still remains not very status. The Conference League, which Chelsea won, is also a low-status tournament and Chelsea had to win it, so in order for them to start being taken seriously, they need to play well in the Champions League, but for now it is too early to talk about their strength.
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.
Last season they won multiple titles and a notable achievement was winning the Club World Cup. Chelsea were lucky in one way to win the Club World Cup title because the teams they played against in the Club World Cup were relatively weak, although their opponent in the final was PSG, but PSG could not perform well in that match, on the contrary, Chelsea performed better than expected and they defeated PSG. However, it cannot be said in advance that they will perform very well in the Champions League next season, first of all, the performance of a few matches in the Premier League must be seen first, if Chelsea can perform well in a few matches in the Premier League, then this team will have a very high chance of doing well in the Champions League.
