Hopefully this will turn out well but even if they can't be in an ideal position still at least they have to improve their current performance.
Their condition is in line with Liverpool, whose performance is slightly similar now. The difference is Todd, who is still very eager to add players, but at the moment apart from Gakpo, I even hear about others for Liverpool.
A draw with Liverpool in the Premier League still cannot be used as a benchmark for Chelsea's performance because even Liverpool are in a bad situation and condition this season. So, I can say Liverpool and Chelsea have decreased in quality this season so a draw for them still won't have any impact on their match in the Champions League.
Also, it doesn't matter how many new players they bring in, because it looks like this season will only be a season for them to make a few attempts to get back to having good quality next season.
It was an important fight for the Champions League qualifiers. Both teams tried very hard on the field, but they could not beat. This was actually a serious rehearsal for Liverpool before the Real Madrid match. Likewise, we can call Chelsea a friendly match for Dortmund. I see Chelsea more likely to win in the matchups, but I'm not sure what Liverpool can do against Real Madrid.
