The domestic club season has finally come to an end, and so has the misery for the Chelsea fans. The last two months have been nothing short of a tragedy wherein we saw our club getting hammered match after match. Until the spring season, we were hoping for a Champions League spot; however, today, after 3 months, we have failed to secure a European berth, let alone the UCL. The club which used to win titles for fun has finished at 10th place. Moreover, the season has been one without a trophy. Yes. We came close in the FA Cup, but we suffered yet another heartbreak in the finals at Wembley at the hands of Manchester City. The season has been nothing short of a disaster.
The only good thing right now is that we have finally got a manager at the helm. Xabi Alonso needs no introduction. He is a world-class manager who has proved himself in Germany. But his stint in Madrid has also left him hurting. He must be fired up right now with a desire to prove that he belongs in this place. The team right now is in shambles. We need to reconstruct it again. With no European football next season, we have enough opportunity to develop our squad from scratch.
What lies next season? The answer very much lies in the womb of time. But, for the time being, we can all be hopeful. Yes, we have a mountain to climb. But, with Xabi as manager, Stamford Bridge can dream again.
