Joe Cole believes that Chelsea are still a contender to win the Champions League despite their struggle for form domestically. The Blues have recorded just one win in 2023 so far, though are unbeaten in their last four matches.
Former Chelsea and Liverpool star Cole believes that the Blues have the quality to win one-off fixtures and that could launch a platform for Graham Potter and co to truly establish themselves as a team going forwards. The 41-year-old believes European football can offer some respite with the west London side unbeaten in the competition since their new head coach arrived.
Nevertheless, he does not think his former side will have an easy time against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday evening. It is easy to be drawn by the battle that is set to ensue between Premier League record signing Enzo Fernandez and long time Chelsea target Jude Bellingham, who is set to draw interest from Europe's biggest club in the summer.
