Same here, Chelsea is honestly the best team in BPL no questions about that, but they are no match for the Spanish or German leagues heavy hitters and will suffer in Champions League.
i doubt this simply because Chelsea will strengthen, and chelsea generally do well in Europe anyway.
saying they are no match for the EU heavy hitters is also dumb because they have a respectable record against them
one question....why?
level of english football has been on the decline in recent years. its like winning against a bunch of mediocre teams and calling yourself the best.
even with the considerable margin chelsea is winning in england, i doubt they'll have any chance in the champions league when they play the likes Madrid, Barca, Juve, or Bayern.
this guy is a great tactician, and tactic can win against any other play style when players are able to recite on the pitch. it's his first year in london and players really have learnt to produce conte's vision on the pitch.
if they want to perform well in CL they need to invest in wing players. i think azpilicueta is too short in his playing.
if they enroll Morata next year and find a good replacement for Terry they might actually go far int he competition.
the difference is that none of the top 4 have been consistent the entire season.
i'd say mou winning it on his first time round is still a greater achievement than Conte with the top teams all on form.
As for champions league, they going to need a "B" team as good as this current squad if they plan to be on top all season long in champions league and english league. something they dont have and are going to need to buy more than two/three players.
I'm really curious about Chelsea's performance on the next Champions League.
