Do we really expect Chelsea to win the champions league or even the premier league? Wouldn?t that be placing too much expectation on this time?
I know Chelsea isn?t a team that jokes around when they are faced with a trophy, they always put in their all to win it like they did in the Club World Cup and the Supercup but, we all did see them when they played their first game in the premier league and that was so not the Chelsea from those two finals. I don?t see this team doing either of these, winning the premier league or champions league.
They have to be consistent. Do you think it was just a coincidence that they won the Club World Cup? I don't think so. It's true that they had an easier schedule, but they performed really well and were a formidable opponent for all the other teams. If they are consistent, they can do well, very well.
Unless winning the CWC is a fluke or a coincidence, they should do well in the Champions League this year. I don't expect them to win the title, but I think they should at least reach the quarterfinals. If they can make it to the quarterfinals, they'll prove to everyone that their title win this summer wasn't just a fluke. This will be a year for Chelsea to be in the spotlight, both in the Premier League and the Champions League.
I agree with you Chelsea should try and do well in the champions League getting to the quarter finals of the champions League should not be an issue with them considering the way they played in the club world
