Also, in the Club World Cup, Chelsea did not meet a top team till they met PSG in the final, and yeah, they were very good in the final, but that doesn't mean they are that good.
Also, it was expected of Chelsea to win the Conference League. It would have been very disgraceful if they didn't win it because they have spent way more money than every other team in that competition, and they are the biggest club there. This may not be something Chelsea fans will like to hear, but it's my opinion. Chelsea doesn't look like a team that can win the league.
The CWC shouldn't be used as a benchmark, but with the improvements and results achieved in terms of trophies, including last season's Conference League and CWC trophies, Chelsea certainly has a slightly greater fighting spirit as they look forward to the upcoming season and correct the mistakes of previous seasons, which were devastated by geopolitical issues.
Chelsea achieved several positive results last season, and now they simply need to build on their previous performance.
This will certainly be a bit difficult, especially since several big clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool are also starting to improve. Of course, being in the top four last season after two seasons of complete failure means high expectations are certainly awaited for the upcoming season.
I believe the most important thing here isn’t just that Chelsea won the Club World Cup trophy, but that they beat PSG to do it and did so with the lopsided score. It proves the team has the great potential to become champions in the 2025/26 season. This potential is also boosted by their recent transfers
