Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has expressed skepticism about Chelsea's chances of qualifying for the next season's UEFA Champions League.
Analyzing the Blues' recent 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town, Carragher highlighted the missed opportunity for Chelsea to secure crucial points.
Carragher emphasized that the draw against a lower-ranked team like Ipswich Town is a significant setback, especially considering Chelsea's challenging upcoming fixtures, which include matches against top-tier teams like Liverpool, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest.
With Newcastle United's 4-1 victory over Manchester United propelling them into the top four, Carragher believes Chelsea faces an uphill battle to secure a Champions League spot. He stated, "It's not just the two points they miss out on; it's one of those fixtures that you look at on paper and think 'that's a guaranteed three points.' I don't see them making the Champions League."
As the Premier League season approaches its climax, Chelsea's performance in the remaining matches will be critical in determining their European football fate.
