Christian Vieri, a renowned figure in Italian football, believes that Chelsea has the capability to compete for both the Premier League and Champions League titles in the upcoming season. The London team concluded the 2024-25 season by securing two trophies and qualifying for the next Champions League, despite experiencing some difficulties during the holiday season. They emerged victorious against PSG, the reigning European champions, in the FIFA Club World Cup final, winning 3-0—a result that surprised even Vieri. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Vieri expressed his admiration for the efforts made by Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, he remarked, “I believed PSG would come out on top. Winning consistently can lead to overconfidence.” And then you realize the harsh truth that there are people who want it more than you do. His years of collaboration with Guardiola are evident. “It wasn’t solely focused on high pressing; it involved a possession-oriented, structured style of play featuring quick, skilled, and powerful players, which enhances the game,” he stated. “In my opinion, Chelsea will secure the Premier League title next season and will also be in the running for the Champions League.”
