Former Roma coach Claudio Ranieri believes English side Chelsea can win their first Champions League this season.<\/p>\n
The Blues currently hold a two-goal lead over Copenhagen in their Round of 16 tie, and the former tactician believes they have the player quality to go all the way.<\/p>\n
Ranieri is also not surprised the Blues are struggling in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n
“I am not surprised that Chelsea has struggled in the Premier League this season,” the ‘Tinkerman’ was quoted as saying to TuttoSport. “Football is not a science as team can do well as well as play poor.<\/p>\n
“But I think that this Chelsea side can win the Champions League because it is a marvellous squad with fantastic players.”<\/p>\n
The former Blues boss admits the English side can do even better as he believes strikers Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba are not at full fitness.<\/p>\n
“Maybe Torres is not at 100 per cent and the same goes for Drogba, but I think they can do better,” he added.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old resigned from his Giallorossi post last month after suffering a 4-3 loss to Genoa after leading 3-0. Ranieri was in charge of Chelsea between 2000 and 2004.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
