I can attribute that partly to the absence of my team (Chelsea) in the competition

Lol, this is why you did not qualify for the Champions League 😆. Because it is not for the kids like Chelsea.

I am so sure, with the way Haaland is scoring goals this season, I don't think there is any striker who can compete with him because he has a strong teammate and this is helping him so well. Let's see how the Premier League will be this season. I know it's going to be so competitive.
