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.
Anything can happen. Even a team you did not expect to win or even perform well will surprise you. That is how football works, and for that, even Chelsea can win the UCL. We should not predict too much right now; let's see how these teams perform. If they start, Chelsea is not that weak a team, you know; they are gradually getting their sway in their feet.
and that is why I am still hoping to see Chelsea at the top of the table. Furthermore, we can’t even predict the teams that will perform well or win the team that will win the UCL title right now when the season is not even yet to start. Let’s not be too fast in predictions; many clubs get prepared for the coming season. We don’t know how it will turn out to be.
