Carragher Criticizes Chelsea, Says the Club Lacks Progress

Chelsea faced a 1–3 loss to Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League opener. After the match, former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher shared pointed criticism of the London club.

Details: On CBS, Carragher noted that the current team bears little resemblance to the one managed by Thomas Tuchel. He mentioned that they are far from being serious contenders for major titles.

Quote: “They [Chelsea] are not closer; they are further away than what that manager [Tuchel] was doing three and a half years ago. In terms of competing with the best teams in the Premier League, they are even further back, despite spending two billion pounds,” Carragher stated.

Earlier, we reported that Cole Palmer started against the German team, marking his 100th appearance in a Chelsea shirt.

Reminder: One of the key matches in the Premier League’s fifth round will be Manchester United vs Chelsea. Here’s where and when to watch it.
