Paul Merson, who used to play for Arsenal, says that Chelsea’s only chance of making it to the semifinals of the Champions League this year is if they can avoid two teams.
Chelsea has won three straight games, and their 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund got them to the semifinals of the Champions League.
Graham Potter’s team has already been put with Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Benfica, Manchester City, and Inter Milan for the next round of the draw. On Friday, the Blues will find out who they will play in the next round.
Depending on which choice was chosen before, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Napoli, and Frankfurt will join them later tonight.
Merson, on the other hand, thinks that only two of these possible opponents should worry Graham Potter’s Blues.

I don’t think many teams will want to play Chelsea in the Champions League playoffs if the draw goes their way, except for Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
The famous Arsenal player wrote on Sky Sports, “I think they’ll make it to the semi-finals if they don’t play those two.”
