Thank you Pep!

Top four next season will still earn Chelsea a return to the Champions League
By Stephen Schmidt  @SchmidtXC on Mar 16, 2016, 11:22p

England's best have been truly terrible in Europe for the past five years, with the exception of Chelsea, who have won both the Champions League and Europa League, as well as making another semifinal run in that period. Fortunately, Bayern Munich and Manchester City-bound manager Pep Guardiola did a huge favor for the Premier League on Wednesday, when they came back from two goals down to beat Juventus, eliminating the Serie A champions from Europe's elite competition.

With the Bayern win on Wednesday, Serie A are down to just one side left in Europe, Lazio, who could also go out tomorrow. That means that even if the remaining English sides lose out (with the exception of tomorrow's Manchester United/Liverpool matchup), it's still mathematically impossible for Italy to overtake England in the UEFA rankings until the end of next season, at the earliest.

For the Blues, this means that the route to a Champions League return is simple...win enough matches to finish in the top four, making it just a one-year absence from the competition. It would also be nice if our English counterparts started to win a few more European matches, as sweating a ranking at the end of the season is a lot less fun than simply enjoying the inevitable Arsenal round of 16 loss.

Thanks again, Pep.

Yup. This has been our joke this season. Not only pato..falcao, and papy too. In the end the one who get sack is the manager but the one who clearly made the mistake which is emenalo still sitting on his chair.

Buffon warns Chelsea: Conte is the boss!

Bayern - Juventus

The level of play between these two teams, oh my. Chelsea don't stand a chance.

just ask ourselves, which of our player can get into their starting 11?
NONE!

We have 1 loanee player who just get into their starting 11. Should we recall him back to reinforce our midfield?

Chelsea loanee named Juventus MVP, has no desire to return to Chelsea

Chelsea loanee Juan Cuadrado cooled off after a hot start at Juventus this season, but has recently rediscovered a rich vein of form, taking a starring role in Juventus's ascendancy to the top of Serie A and in maintaining their slim Champions League hopes after a 2-2 first leg draw against Bayern Munich.

He's been so good in fact that the official Juventus website named him the club's most valuable player for February.

Cuadrado went on to provide an assist in that match on Friday, putting Juve six points clear at the top of the table, albeit with Napoli still to play this weekend. The Old Lady have won 18 of their last 19 to recover from their Chelsea-esque start to the league season. Molto impressionante.

Despite the personal and team successes, Cuadrado's future remains undecided. It had been assumed since the summer that he would join Juventus permanently at some point this season, but that deal has yet to materialize. One thing seems clear, Cuadrado has no intentions of getting thrown back into the mixer at Chelsea.

I think better he stay there. Its not about his ability but PL too physical for him.

good news that England will keep it's 4 team quota in UCL next season...

bad news for us that we are still no where near that 4th place.... haih... must keep climbing.

win the remaining match!
still possible but i doubt it

Please sign cuadrado on permanent basis juve. Bertrand traore miles better than him.

he becoming key player in Juve.. hopefully we can get a good deal for him.

most serie A player dun suit BPL playing style. Cuadrado and M. Salah... or not suit our playing style.... even Pato proven in Serie A seems hard to break through first XI. hhhmmmm.... no more Serie A player please.... except Pogba... lol

Apparently the "cannot play against parent team clause" is only valid/common in the UK.

UEFA does not approve of such clause as evident when Courtois was allowed to play against Chelsea for Atletico even when such clause was inserted into his loan contract.

oh ya forgot about that.
seems like a long time ago already

Somehow I agree... seeing the trend where these players cannot adapt well from Italian league.

Maybe we can increase his price before selling him

It's hard to believe

aim top 8 and we're good.
not top4. i dont see that way.

lol just wanna sell headlines. even Mourinho pic also find 1 like this.
why would Roman want revenge on Mourinho after firing him the 2nd time??

Agree with u. This is just a media way to sell their paper
