John Terry has identified Chelsea’s three standout players as the club battles to salvage a season that once promised success but is now slipping away.
Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea looked like Liverpool’s closest rivals, but their dramatic dip in form has left them 21 points behind the league leaders.
This slump has left fans frustrated and placed Maresca under pressure, though a Champions League spot and Europa Conference League glory could still rescue the campaign.
Terry insists that qualifying for the Champions League should be a non-negotiable goal for Chelsea, emphasizing the club’s need to uphold its elite status.
With fierce competition for the top four from Man City, Newcastle, and Brighton, Chelsea must rediscover their early-season rhythm to avoid a disappointing finish.
While acknowledging the team’s inconsistency, Terry singled out Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and Noni Madueke as the club’s top performers this season.
Despite recent setbacks, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly remains confident, highlighting progress in leadership, squad development, and the club’s long-term vision.
As the season nears its climax, Terry’s selections stress the importance of key players stepping up to ensure Chelsea remains among Europe’s elite next season.
