The argument to that could be it is our level. The best team in club football winning the ultimate trophy. Chelsea and Porto weren’t the best teams at the time they won it. Liverpool too for that matter. We are the best team in the world in the eyes of many, and to win it in this period would be the ultimate accolade for the status of the club.Never understand those who trot out the absurd cliche that winning the CL takes the club to another level. Does it heck. Didn’t do it for Chelsea didn’t do it for Porto. Your level is your level and it doesn’t come from one cup win, which in Chelsea’s case came when they were probably not even in the top ten teams in Europe in 2012.
Your level comes from what you do every game week in week out for season after season. That’s why we’re one of the world’s top clubs now and a CL win would only be adding a small cherry on to an already magnificent cake.
I need to pukeThe reason Chelsea's CL winning teams are not rated highly is because they failed in the domestic league. Liverpool won the CL missing out on the league by 1 point, then came back and won the league. Guess what, they are considered one of the best in the world right now.
