The latest success at the expanded Club World Cup further cements Chelsea\u2019s status, having already claimed the smaller seven-team version in the past.<\/p>\n<p>However, as they gear up for the 2025-26 season, Chelsea is still seeking their first Premier League trophy since 2017. Only by breaking this national title drought can they truly claim to be back among the elite.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Chelsea has now collected all four major European trophies: the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and Super Cup, in addition to the recent Club World Cup titles.<\/p>\n<p>With over \u00a31 billion spent on new players since Todd Boley and Clear Lake Consortium acquired the club from Roman Abramovich in May 2022, it\u2019s time for Chelsea to make a significant impact in their domestic league. Winning the Club World Cup is considered a peak moment for the club, allowing them to flaunt their status as world champions until the next tournament in 2029. Maresca emphasized the importance of this win, stating that it holds equal significance to winning the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this achievement, Premier League glory remains paramount for fans. Establishing themselves as champions of England is a top priority for any club and its supporters.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side for Chelsea, their victory over PSG underscores the potential of Maresca&#8217;s squad, proving they can compete with the best teams globally.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518674_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=570&amp;format=jpg, https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518674_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=1140&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518674_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=375, https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518674_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\" lazyload lazyload\" data-image-container=\".inline-photo\" height=\"320\" width=\"570\"><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"photoCaption\">Players like Cole Palmer and recently signed Joa Pedro should enhance Chelsea\u2019s chances in the Premier League. <cite>Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>After significant investment and a rotation of players in and out of the squad, Chelsea appears to have finally formed a cohesive team. Pedro\u2019s addition from Brighton &#038; Hove Albion could prove pivotal, complementing the existing talent and solidifying their gameplay after they had the necessary time to adjust.<\/p>\n<p>Maresca has shown he can adapt tactically, as demonstrated during the Club World Cup, notably repositioning fullback Reese James to midfield to counter PSG&#8217;s strength. His tactical choices were instrumental in securing the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Before the final, Maresca compared football to chess, highlighting the need to outthink opponents. His ability to outmaneuver seasoned coaches like Luis Enrique suggests he can hold his own against any competitor.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline float-r inline-track\">\n<h2 class=\"img-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stream_ESPN_FC_daily_with_ESPN\"><\/span>Stream ESPN FC daily with ESPN+<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazyload=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/photo\/2020\/0325\/r682826_2_576x324_16-9.jpg\" class=\"round lazyload\"><\/p>\n<p>Dan Thomas is joined by Craig Burley and Shaka Hislop, bringing the latest highlights and discussing the biggest stories.

His movement and ability to position himself effectively make him a key player for Chelsea going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Joa Pedro provides a significant improvement over the inconsistent Nicholas Jackson and made an immediate impact after substituting against PSG. Chelsea now has several genuine attacking threats, a strategic and adept coaching staff, and a resilient midfield. While defensive concerns remain, their backline and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez demonstrated stability during the match against PSG.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Chelsea possesses the components needed to contend for the Premier League title. With Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City currently dominating the league, they must find consistency to reenter the title race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fan Take:<\/strong> This news is crucial for soccer fans as it highlights Chelsea&#8217;s resilience and potential to reclaim their status among England&#8217;s elite.
