With our 2021/22 campaign in its final week, and a top-four spot secure, Thomas Tuchel has assessed Chelsea’s past nine months and given his verdict on whether we can consider the season a success or not.
From our very first match back on 11 August, a gruelling UEFA Super Cup penalty shootout triumph over Villarreal, until our most recent encounter, another cup final decided by spot-kicks but this time not in our favour, the season has contained untold ups and downs, even by Chelsea Football Club’s standards.
It has certainly kept Tuchel busy in his first full year in charge of the Blues, not least with the amount of pre-match press conferences he has conducted. At his 62nd and penultimate of the campaign today, ahead of the meeting with Leicester, he was asked to rate his team’s showing.
‘It’s in balance judging the season,’ he started.
