Let's see how he behaves, he certainly has what it takes to do well
when he faced PSG he showed that he had the numbers, the people and the mentality to do well
Much depends on how they deal with this fact, whether in a proactive or destructive way.
First shot in the Premier League didn't go well. Winning the club world cup was a big achievement for Chelsea, right now everyone are expecting much from Chelsea both in Premier League and Champions League. Chelsea don't need to fail when all hopes are placed on them, in the Champions League Chelsea should be somewhere among teams to compete in any stage of the final, down from the quarter final to semi final if possible compete in the final.
Chelsea should remember that they are a good team at the moment so they have to perform accordingly. In the opening match of the Premier League, we did not see a victory from Chelsea, but Chelsea performed quite well against Newcastle. Chelsea kept the ball in their possession most of the time in the entire match, as well as Chelsea made more correct passes, but they could not take as many shots on target as Newcastle. We saw that Chelsea took only three shots on target in the entire match, although none of those three shots hit the goalpost. They were able to get one point in the first match but they have nothing to be disappointed about, they have to try to do better in the upcoming matches.
If they think they are the best and go to the field with a good plan against the opposing teams and if they can play according to the plan, then they will definitely end the season in a good position in the Premier League and they will have enough opportunities to do well in the Champions League as well.
Yes, exactly, they need to believe in it more. I also think they're a great team that can do very well both in the league and in the Champions League, and it's not a given that teams like that can manage to play a draw like the one against Newcastle, so they're strong and they need to believe in it. I really like Chelsea and that's probably why I support them a bit, but I think they can really do it.
Of course, we shouldn't underestimate any club that has qualified to the Champions League because they have the same chance of winning the league. However, the league is a race of survival of the fittest. It's only the club that can maintain its form till the end of the season that will definitely win the trophy. Chelsea should put in their best to see if it's their turn to win the Champions League this season.
Frankly, it's not right to assume that every team participating in the Champions League has the same chances. There are strong teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Napoli, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Chelsea is a slightly less powerful team, but we shouldn't forget that they also won a very good victory against Paris Saint-Germain. The Champions League isn't a single-game tournament, so a single match doesn't determine the winner or loser. The Champions League is a tough tournament where the best teams from each league are played back-to-back, and the best teams from each league are here. Competing here is a dream for every team, but winning the championship isn't even a possibility for every team. It will be a tough tournament for Chelsea; let's see how far they can go.

Well, it still depends on how they play within the group, so we can at least get a rough idea of what to expect from them in the playoffs. And, of course, it all depends on who they face along the way. The victory over PSG is a one-off. It's a very good victory, showing that Chelsea is not a weak team, but since it's only a one-off, it's difficult to draw conclusions based on it.
Yes, it's a one-game win, and Chelsea played exceptionally well in that match. Perhaps they'll face Paris Saint-Germain again in the Champions League and not play the same way. Perhaps they'll play the same way and beat Paris Saint-Germain again—time will tell. Chelsea drew their first Premier League match, but because every match is important in the Champions League, they should strive for more wins.
