Chelsea is steadily delivering standout performances and achieving notable results this season, recovering from a sluggish start and maintaining an undefeated record against top 6 teams.

The Blues showcased resilience in a spirited performance against arguably the world’s best team, Manchester City. They staged a remarkable comeback three times, securing a point in an exhilarating 4-4 draw.

The display against Pep Guardiola’s squad occurred in the same week they dismantled Tottenham Hotspur, who played with nine men, securing a 4-1 victory away at their rival’s stadium.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea’s triumph was significantly influenced by ex-Manchester City players Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer, both contributing to the victory by scoring goals against their former team.

Pochettino’s message to players and fans

Mauricio Pochettino once more expressed satisfaction with his team’s spirited performance and the electric atmosphere in the stadium, even though they didn’t secure the victory.

He conveyed a message to his players and fans on his Instagram page following the thrilling encounter against the champions.

“We want to build something special at Chelsea, and this is exactly the way we want the players to perform and feel,” a part of the message reads.

He acknowledged the impact that entering the international break with such a feeling would have on the players. However, for the sake of maintaining momentum, he expressed a desire for them to play another game sooner.

The Blues’ upcoming schedule includes an away match to St. James Park against Newcastle United after the international break, followed by fixtures against Brighton and Manchester United.
