Chelsea Are Back in the Big League – Gareth Bale Tips Blues for Premier League Glory After Club World Cup Triumph
Former Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur legend, Gareth Bale, has given Chelsea fans renewed hope as he confidently predicted the Blues are strong contenders for the 2025 Premier League title.
This comes in the wake of Chelsea’s stunning 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday, where Cole Palmer netted a brace and Joao Pedro added a third, crowning Enzo Maresca’s debut season with a second major trophy.
🔥 Bale: "Chelsea aren’t far away at all"
Speaking to DAZN, Bale praised Chelsea’s revival:
“I do not think they are far away at all. Last season, they got to around Christmas, and everyone was talking about them being contenders."
"They have shown character as a team to come back and win the Conference League, and now win this. I think confidence will be booming and they will have that self-belief now."
🏆 A Trophy-Laden Start Under Maresca
Chelsea’s transformation under Maresca has been nothing short of magical. In less than a year, the Italian tactician has guided the club to:
🥇 UEFA Europa Conference League (Defeating Real Betis)
🥇 FIFA Club World Cup (Beating PSG 3-0)
From struggling for rhythm last season to now taking down European royalty, Chelsea’s evolution is evident — not just in silverware, but in style, belief, and youth-driven energy.
👀 OPINION – Are Chelsea Finally Back Among the Elite?
If Chelsea’s past few seasons have been a rebuilding project, then 2025 is the unveiling of the new foundation. With talents like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, Joao Pedro, and Levi Colwill, the team has the ingredients of a championship contender.
And if Gareth Bale, a man who’s lifted the biggest trophies in football, sees a winning DNA forming at Stamford Bridge — maybe it's time the doubters took notice.
The Premier League is no longer a two-horse race.
⚽ What to Watch
Can Maresca’s Chelsea sustain this momentum domestically? Or will consistency in the league be their biggest test yet?
One thing is clear — with confidence soaring and the silverware stacking, the Blue Revolution is underway.
