At one point this season, Chelsea was considered a title contender. However, the Blues have since suffered a setback, and even qualifying for the Champions League is now uncertain—something club legends find unthinkable.
Details: Former Chelsea midfielder Gustavo Poyet stated that if the club fails to secure a Champions League spot next season, it would be a major disappointment.
Quote: “Yes, 100 percent. In September, October, November, and December, there was significant progress, and that progress showed that the players can perform at that level and win matches. It would be very frustrating, after such improvement, if they fail to finish the season well and miss out on the Champions League.
They’re going through a rough patch right now, and that’s normal—it’s a young team that has improved a lot. But as coaches, we always say: ‘You have to stop this, you can’t keep falling, falling, falling. You need to stop it somewhere.’ So, they need a win,” Poyet told FourFourTwo.
Reminder: Previously, Jamie Carragher suggested that failing to qualify for the Champions League could result in Chelsea losing Cole Palmer.
