Most teams tend to take the Champions league competition more seriously than their league and Chelsea seem to be one of such teams the season because that is the best explanation to their successful stats in the Champions league and struggles in the league with same players and same manager. I agree with you that Chelsea should not be underated in the Champions league because if their poor form in the league, who knows whether the Champions league trophies is the major objectives for them this season.
Chelsea should be underrated completely in the Champions League. They have no track record, just that once they won the CL against Guardiola doesn't mean they are not experts in the Champions League. Chelsea is not a contender and their is no hope for them. They didn't take Champions League seriously than English Premier league, what happened is that EPL was stronger and hotter for them. Everyone wants to do well in EPL at the same time this season. There is no great hope for Chelsea in the CL.
Why not, if Potter is able to fix the problems that occur in his squad and find the right strategy formulation. it is not impossible, Chelsea will come back fierce. either in the Domestic League or the Champions League. after all, in fact, Chelsea has potential with its players, even though they are not too favorite in this competition.
I hope Potter sees his players who are competing in the world cup in Qatar, especially for Hakim Ziyech who is playing well with his national team. Potter can give him many opportunities after the league is rolled back, at least Potter has other options to play him as a playmaker or winger. although he is not the answer to Chelsea's needs, Potter can rotate the available players in addition to bringing in newcomers in the upcoming January transfer market. I think Chelsea can overcome Dortmund in the round of 16 later.
I see Chelsea with a lot of potential, I don't see it as a weak team, now things can happen very well for this team, we can also wait to see if there are transfers or purchase of new players, I think they should acquire one more striker to include it in the definitive attack, what Chelsea lacks is a very effective attack so that they can give better results, of course this is my perspective of how I see Chelsea, obviously in the league they can go up and up more, but they are in the UCL, they have a privilege that very few have, because those who were always in the Chelsea position are now in the Europa League.
He was a player who have most followers and fans compared with another great player like messi or etc. that's why any news or rumour about him will be paying so many attention from his fans. Ronaldo has the biggest fan base in the world. Any rumour will attract traffic that will be coming from his fans.
I would not be surprised if ronaldo is always to be linked with some teams that played in the champion league caused by ronaldo wants to play in the champion league team. I doubt that if any clubs that currently participated in the champion league wanna try to let him join.
It seems like all of teams now abandoned him, he has no choice other than try to be paticen and realize his situation.
I do agree that he is one of the greatest players of all time. I am not saying he is THE greatest, but one of the greatest, because I do agree that there are few others. But, looking at his awards and statistics, I could easily say that he is one of the best without a doubt. This dude has played for so long and now he is aging and currently may not be the greatest ever but we should realize that his entire career looks like he is one of the best.
Scoring more goals than anyone else is a big deal just by himself, and that should tell you how good but also how consistent he is as well. That is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked with everything.
Well, the last thing I've read out there on social networks, I don't know if it's official news or not, but they say that possibly from a bump going to Barcelona, others say that CR7 will not retire from the Portuguese team and that Mou will take charge of They started very little because the truth is that Fernando Santos was criticized a lot for not having put CR7 in the last game, and to be honest I thought it was something very selfish, however if that is the case he will continue playing in the national team until 41 years old and if so, the fans will have CR7 for a while, the only thing is that he has to do a lot of training to overcome the onslaught of age, for me this gets interesting.
For now, some things that are being said about Benzema that they do not want to give details, what makes me understand is that he will be 100% ready to play in the League and in the UCL for Real Madrid:
France coach declines to comment on Karim Benzema's rumored World Cup returnAL KHOR, Qatar — France coach Didier Deschamps refused to confirm Wednesday a report that star forward Karim Benzema could rejoin Les Bleus in Qatar before they take on Argentina in the World Cup Final on Sunday (10 a.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).
Spanish outlet Marca claimed Tuesday that the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner has returned to full training with Real Madrid, which he helped win the UEFA Champions League earlier this year, meaning there's a possibility he'll at least be in attendance for Sunday's final. Benzema was originally named to Deschamps’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup but was injured before France played its first game of the tournament. But he was never replaced from the roster, which makes him eligible to return.
