Champions League Contenders: Chelsea

Chelsea has been a treat to watch this season, building on their philosophy, promoting youth up the ranks and believing in possession-based attacking football that is winning hearts and minds around the football world.

In this post, I'll be analysing their recent games and study their chances of winning the Champions League this season.





Now let's take a look at their Offensive and Defensive moments which will define their Champions League journey.

Offensive:



Chelsea's offensive transition has proved to be very effective. As soon as they win the ball, the first pass always moves forward. The receiving player tries to cover as much space forward by driving the ball towards goal. Other players use both the side corridors to stretch the opponent's defensive line and provide width. Once in the final third, the strikers have a clear sight on goal and can finish without pressure.


Defensive:



Defensively, set-pieces have been a problem for Chelsea this season. Alongwith that, a lot of individual errors have been responsible for easy open chances and goals. If Chelsea's defensive movement off the ball, specifically the recognition of 'open and closed ball' improves, it could provide a good chance of overturning the 3-0 deficit against Bayern.
