Christian Pulisic insists that opponents would not want to face Chelsea in the Champions League as the Blues have been gaining confidence with three consecutive wins. He stated that sporting success can come quickly, similar to the last time Chelsea won the Champions League. Pulisic declared, ‘I wouldn't want to play us in the Champions League, I'll say that much. I think we were in a similar situation as far as the last time we won the Champions League. Half-way through the year, struggling in the league and a lot of people counting us out. Look what happened then... Has it been easy in recent weeks? No, but I'm proud of the way the team has overcome it and the last week that we've had, getting three wins in a row. I'm feeling a lot of confidence now and it's crazy how fast things can change in football, it's a snap of a finger.

Christian Pulisic believes Chelsea will be a formidable foe in Europe, warning opponents: 'I wouldn't want to go up against us in this competition'.
The Blues have been drawn to take on Real Madrid, the holders of the Champions League and 14-time winners, in the quarter-finals following their success against Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea triumphed over Real Madrid in 2021 when they lifted the Champions League trophy, but were defeated by Carlo Ancelotti's side in the competition last season.
Despite their standing in the middle of the Premier League table, Pulisic senses that there is a shift in momentum at Stamford Bridge with three consecutive victories. 'All of a sudden', the American said, 'we are a dangerous team'.
If the Blues can get past the Spanish giants, they could be up against either Manchester City or Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.
'I would not want to compete against us in the Champions League', Pulisic told ESPN. 'We were in a similar situation when we won the Champions League, struggling in the league and with many people doubting us - look what happened then.'
'It hasn't been a straightforward journey recently, but I am proud of how the team has managed and the wins we have achieved in the last week.'
'It's incredible how fast things can change in football, it happens in the blink of an eye.'
