Admittedly, I'm envious of Chelsea's defense. Even at our peak in 2015 we never had this much security in defense during CL despite being a great team. In 2017 we were great too but we were conceding lots of shots in the knockouts
Our defense back then was so much better than this Chelsea teams.

As already mentioned we were up against one of the greatest attacking teams of all time.

they are not poor man, they play very well team play and tactics.
I'm comparing this Chelsea team to the CL winning teams of the last 30 years. I would say they have to be the worst.if not one of the worst.

The Barca team they beat was better than any team in the CL this year.
Fair point even if that was a fluke.

This Chelsea team throughout the knockouts of CL shuts down teams and don't concede shots. Yeah I agree the competition is terrible compared to ours in our time, its nothing like we've faced, what I meant was just pointing out the sense of security they had.

Atleti for example in their prime shut down prime Barca and a solid Bayern a couple of times. Simply think that we didn't have this sense of security at the back in CL

the biggest choke job was us against Hamburg in 1983. How can you lose with a team consisting of world champions including Zoff, Cabrini, Scirea, Gentile, Tardelli, Rossi, and add Bettega, Platini and Boniek.

We had bonucci, who is the father of insecurity. Juve players piss their pants in CHL final. It's like they go to final for only purpose, not to win it but to lose it.

You need players like Kante/Rodri in your midfield.
and pep, the visionary left both fernandinho and rodri on the bench, started with zero dm's. didn't watch the game, checked the highlights afterwards, it seems to me that chelsea countered the shit out of city in the first half.

pep just had to make a change, didn't he.
