Chelsea FC: What to expect from them in the Champions League

Inevitable elimination

Good, but will good be enough?

Every good thing must come to an end.

Chelsea will entertain, dazzle and surprise many in this year’s Champions League, they will even fill up the back pages of tabloids with controversies, but unfortunately, will not go all the way.

No matter how good Chelsea’s squad is, it is just not good enough to win the top European crown.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have squads which can outlast Chelsea on any given day (as seen in the UEFA Super Cup).

Chelsea is still a work in progress. New manager, new players, new philosophy will unfortunately, garner the same old result – elimination in the latter phase of the competition.

Best bet will be a semi-final berth, while a safe bet will be quarter-final exit, if drawn against one of the top guns.

But hey, Chelsea were far from favourites two seasons ago, right?

Over to you, Champions League 2014/15.
