"The Champions League is where the club belongs. We're happy to be back playing against the best teams and competing in the best competitions, because we haven't been in this one for the last two seasons. Captaining Chelsea was always something I dreamt of, especially in the Champions League. Having been here a while now, and seeing the change and how we've had to adapt, we're in a good position."
"We finished last season super strong and I hope this season we can build on that. I don't look at what other people say; we can achieve anything as long as we understand and believe. We know we can go far with the team we have. That's all that matters. They are always super strong. They are a European giant, and they have won the competition before and know what it takes. So, it will be a super tough game."
Chelsea begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday with a visit to Bayern Munich in the group stage, marking a return to the competition for the first time since 2022-23. The Blues have made an unbeaten start to the Premier League, collecting eight points from four games, despite conceding a 93rd-minute equaliser against Brentford. The squad aims to add the European crown to the Club World Cup title after finishing last season strongly. The team projects confidence in its progression prospects, citing adaptation, belief, and recent momentum, while acknowledging Bayern Munich as a European giant and a very tough opponent.
