Chelsea's recent 3-1 victory over Liverpool boosts their Champions League qualification aspirations as the latter suffers a post-title hangover. Enzo Maresca's side, led by an early goal from Enzo Fernandez and a late penalty from Cole Palmer, secured vital points. While Chelsea is vying for a top-five finish, Liverpool's focus has waned after clinching the league title. The match’s context highlights Chelsea's climb to fifth place and involvement in a tight race for Champions League spots, intensifying the competition among the top teams in the Premier League.
"Very important three points, especially at this stage in the season. For sure, Chelsea has to fight for Champions League and hopefully in the future we can fight for something more important."
"While lacklustre Liverpool had little to play for after winning a record-equalling 20th English crown with a 5-1 rout of Tottenham last weekend, Chelsea had every incentive to secure a priceless three points."
