If City wins the CL does the 5th place team in the PL get to play in the CL?
Champions league Semi Finals 2020-21 - April 27-28 and May 4-5
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Benitez won a UEFA Cup with them as interim manager as well. Di Matteo won a Champions League manager as caretaker. Avram Grant almost did the same.
As you say, jammy cnuts.
Which team didn't exist 20 years ago?
Chelsea should have won by four. Missed so many chances.
Oh ffs, what an awful final.
I was terrified.
no.
He and Kovacic were able to get forward in tandem but he was still a box to box midfielder. I quoted you because you said he was an attacking midfielder which is false information.
Failed to beat PSG. We should never have been in Europa.
I'm going to go for Chelsea as favourites for the final. They can shut City out and the pace they got on the counter is unbelievable.
Yeah was a high pressing 8, but it was always stupid to use him in that setup. Playing him in a 2 alongside a sitting midfielder with passing range has always been the best way to get the most out of him - France even had to push Matuidi out to LW to get the best out of Kante.
Just want to clarify that I agree with your broader point - that the difference in performance is less down to Kante's role specifically and more down to the team's setup around him.
Chelsea classic example of why give the managers time is such a bad excuse . If you can see that it's not working then there's always the next best thing available
Please Chelsea.
People talk about us building and progressing. Step by fecking step; and I understand that and it's very likely true, but when you watch Chelsea going from zero to hero constantly in a decade it's enough to make you throw your toys out the window!
That's what happens when you have little depth and everybody is injured all the time. You get to the end of the season and your players are dead
Zidane had to take off Benzema and Kroos with 20 minutes to go in a tight Clasico a month ago. That says it all
Nope.
The only way it can affect the top 4 is if Chelsea wins CL and Arsenal win the EL and they both finish outside of top 4.
Then 4th place with miss out on CL. I think!
If history is any indicator, Tuchel will win the CL and get sacked next year. F this club, they suck but keep on winning important trophies.
They were never as bad as Lampard was making them and it was always going to take time for them to gel those new players together, but I know what you’re saying.

No.
But if Chelsea win it and don't get into top 4, there will be 5 English sides in next season's CL.
It took Klopp four years to win something, they would have gotten rid of him
Well at least he tried
As long as it ends in the ultimate heartbreak for either of the sides whether that by somebody slipping on their arse taking a pen or some keeper throwing the ball in to their own for a change, I'll certainly be watching.
yay!
Scary that Chelsea would be one CL win behind us, given the history of both clubs.
Kante was absolutely brilliant
I wonder how many Chelsea fans would take Lampard back now?
Chelsea look ridiculously good under Tuchel. They have every chance of denying the Oilers the trophy they crave most

CHOWSEA CHOWSEA CHOWSEA
2 teams who were abale to spent big in summer inspite of pandemic are in finals
I think that's harsh on Chelsea to be honest. They were a decent sub top side in England and actually made the CL quarter finals back in 2000.
Congratulations to Chelsea fans, clearly the best throughout the tie.
I think that today with another line-up we could have squeezed our options a little more. I do not think that a line of three CBs has given us so much security. The return of Ramos has been counterproductive.
I was hoping to see them better physically but I guess it's a fatigue that can't be solved by stopping for three days.
I was so expecting a more epic match from Hazard too.
Chelsea very well, aggressive, reaching all the balls before, circulating fast and using spaces very well. Poor Kroos ended up cornered on the left.

Seeing how Madrid played, glad it's you against the bald cnut. City would have wiped the floor with this Madrid side. At least you guys have a chance.Loving these salty tears in this thread

Yeah. You look at the players Chelsea were able to bring on tonight in comparison, they are both fit and in contention for starting spots, whereas you had unfit players starting the match.
Been a tough old season.
Wow tense game. Mendy with couple of key saves, especially one before our first goal. Havertz and Kante excellent, in fact pretty much everyone played well. Just the finishing let us down, not from Wener though today.
Now for trial run of the final on Saturday. Hopefully will give City something to think about like in FA cup semi.

TY very much! We got quite lucky with all your injuries but I'll take it!
Well at least he tried
That's a lie. I refuse to believe Hazard did any running that game! He must have been running in circles because he did feck all!
Cheers mate, absolutely buzzing at the moment!
Thank you. I remember some kind of a talk like that a few seasons back. But it didn't happen. I think this Chelsea will get into the top 4 for sure. You never know they might even win the darn thing.
