According to Cristiano Ronaldo, Chelsea is now in the top tier of Premier League clubs due to their consistency.
Manchester United's number seven, speaking to Sky Sports, labelled the Blues, Manchester City, and Liverpool as the country's three most progressed sides due to their ability to consistently pick up results. The table speaks for itself when it comes to separating the very elite from the chasing group. City has continued to defend their title and is now ten points ahead of the next line. Chelsea is one of those teams, and despite dropping points to teams in the league below them, they are still within striking distance of the champs.
Jurgen Klopp's side is a point and a position below Thomas Tuchel's side, but they have a game in hand over both of their opponents above them. Meanwhile, Manchester United is in sixth place, a long way ahead of their nosy neighbours in the blue half of the city.
Ralf Rangnick's club has the talent and personnel to fight with England's heavyweights, but they've been a bit light throughout the season.
Despite Ronaldo's presence, who is used to sparring with the greatest.
"Football, the league, winning the league is a marathon, not a 100m sprint," the Portugal captain explained.
"You must maintain a level of consistency. This is why Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea are perhaps the top teams in England right now since they are more consistent than other clubs."
Perhaps CR7 is blaming himself for not seeking a move to the other side of Manchester rather than going to Old Trafford to fulfil a sentimental desire.
His final chance to win the Premier League may have vanished.
Chelsea's prospects of winning the Premier League would be shattered if they do not defeat Pep Guardiola's juggernaut at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow.
Tuchel's greatest chance for a medal this term is a runner-up finish if he loses or even draws.
