“The club should want to win the biggest trophies, the Premier League, and the Champions League. Right now they’re miles off it.” - Owen Hargreaves

TNT Sports pundit Owen Hargreaves, regarding the Club’s objectives and present level of performance.

In post-match analysis following Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain, Mr Hargreaves stated: “The club should want to win the biggest trophies, the Premier League, and the Champions League. Right now they’re miles off it.”

Chelsea FC remains fully committed to its long-term vision of competing for and winning major domestic and European honours. The Club’s ownership and leadership have invested significantly in building a young, talented squad designed for sustained success, with a clear focus on developing players, implementing a progressive playing style under Head Coach Liam Rosenior, and creating a competitive environment capable of challenging at the highest level.

While the Club recognises that recent results, including the Champions League elimination and position in the Premier League table, reflect areas for improvement, Chelsea is confident in the trajectory of the project. The integration of exciting talents such as Cole Palmer, Estevão, Pedro Neto, João Pedro, Andrey Santos, Moisés Caicedo, and others forms the foundation of a squad with immense potential.

A Club spokesperson said: “We share the ambition to win the Premier League and Champions League – these are the standards Chelsea has always set for itself. The journey requires patience, continuous improvement, and resilience. We are building something special with a young group and a clear identity under Liam Rosenior. The Club, players, and staff are united in the pursuit of those goals, and we thank our supporters for their continued belief as we work towards them.”

Chelsea now turns its attention to the remaining Premier League fixtures and other competitions, determined to finish the season strongly and lay further groundwork for future success.
