A 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid on aggregate in the quarter-final of the tie means the Blues will almost certainly not be competing in Europe's premier competition in 2023/24. With only seven games to go in the Premier League, Chelsea are a whopping 14 points from fifth place.

As well as losing the prestige of competing in the Champions League or even the Europa League, the Blues will be hit with a massive drop in income by losing access to broadcast money from participating in European football. And that is set to inform decisions Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital make come the summer.
