But it felt like that sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Potter confirmed he had a quick post-match meeting with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly, who had been all smiles in the stands, wrapped in a blue and white scarf.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still here,\u201d Potter said about the outcome of the meeting, shrugging off with a laugh the speculation that his job was on the line depending on the result of Tuesday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n<p>It was the biggest win yet for Chelsea\u2019s new owners who paid \u00a34.25 billion ($5.03 billion) last year for the 2021 European champions.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the consortium has invested more than \u00a3500m in new players, continuing the kind of lavish spending seen under the former owner of Stamford Bridge, Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, who was forced to relinquish the club after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine last year.<\/p>\n<p>Until Tuesday\u2019s win, Boehly and the rest of the consortium had seen little return on their investment.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have slumped to 10th place in the Premier League, with their chances of reaching next season\u2019s Champions League via a top-four finish all but gone, and the team was eliminated early in both of England\u2019s knockout cup competitions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graham Potter \u00a0 Chelsea boss Graham Potter looked like the most relieved man in London as he punched the air and blew kisses into the crowd after his struggling side\u2019s 2-1 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday.
