Following their defeats to Manchester United in the previous season, Chelsea appointed Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new manager. Under his guidance, they initially led the league table alongside Liverpool. However, their form took a downturn in November with multiple setbacks, including losses in the Champions League and Carling Cup, as well as defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal in the league. Despite some struggles, Chelsea managed to qualify from their Champions League group and appointed Guus Hiddink as manager after dismissing Scolari. With renewed morale, they secured third place in the league and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they controversially lost to Barcelona. Nonetheless, Chelsea won the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over Everton, providing some consolation for their season.
