Chelsea have the history of winning the Champions League in the condition of the team not going well in the English League, but this season cannot be used as a reference that Chelsea can repeat the same thing.
I don't think so either. I think there are other teams that are much stronger. My favorites are still the EPL teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, and then in Spain, Madrid and Barcelona. But I think anything can still happen. There’s always a new surprise in the Champions League. But the dominance of the teams seems to remain the same, with no major changes. Currently, there are still seven more teams competing to qualify for the UCL. I see some new teams I’ve rarely heard of, and perhaps Pafos and Kairat have a chance to make history by qualifying for the UCL.
