Former Moscow Lokomotiv football player Dmitry Bulykin believes that winning the Champions League can help London Chelsea in the English Premier League (EPL).
The return match between Chelsea and Borussia in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League was held at Stamford Bridge in London and ended with the victory of the English team with a score of 2:0. The first match in Dortmund ended with a 1-0 victory for Borussia Dortmund. Thus, according to the sum of two meetings, the Blues advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Chelsea are in 10th place in the Premier League standings with 34 points after 25 games.
These tournaments are different. Footballers prepare differently for different tournaments. It is clear that in the Champions League it is a completely different attitude, just a couple of games. And there is definitely no time to fix something. Everyone understands this and will prepare to the maximum.
And the championship… I think that these victories in the Champions League can bring good emotions and psychologically help Chelsea to improve their game in the championship and improve their standings,” Gazeta.ru quoted Bulykin as saying.
