Chelsea are less than 90 minutes away from them, but the results are somewhat satisfactory.
Thanks to a fiasco defeating Porto 1-0 on Tuesday night, the Blues won 2-1 and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in seven years.
For a club that is not used to being eliminated from the Champions League in the past 16 stages, this is a sweet success, or worse, they have to participate in the Europa League.
Now that they are getting closer to the European Football Summit, they can dream of getting there this season. Of course they will stop.
Their performance in the "home" game at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville explains exactly why Thomas Tuchel's team is so embarrassed to fight against it.
They are very alert to Porto's transformation and actively defend their inside and surroundings. They have been entangled, which means that despite Porto's last-minute goals, their progress has never been questioned.
For some aspects, losing Mateo Kovacic due to a minor injury with Andreas Christensen before kick-off will be a major problem.
The Chelsea team has such a high level that they can select world-class players such as Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante into the starting lineup.
As they continue to prove their abilities in such challenging times, the pandemic evacuated fans from the ground and added injuries through the crowded roster, Chelsea are well equipped to deal with any obstacles.
Of course, due to their rich resources, they are always the favorites to enter the semi-finals, but they have shown no lack of quality and character in the face of Porto, in the way they beat Juventus in the 16 rounds.
However, although Porto caused a lot of trouble for Chelsea in the first half of the first leg last week, this time Tuchel's team felt more comfortable.
Given that so many Chelsea players are still finding their footing at this level, who can predict the start of the 2020-21 season?
Keep in mind that previously only Kovavic won the game, although Thiago Silva's battle with Paris Saint-Germain last season for the trophy was painfully close.
Of course, Chelsea spent 220 million pounds (US$275 million) last summer to strengthen the team, but there is no doubt that they are ahead of plan in winning the second UEFA Champions League game, especially when considering their own When the record was poor, he had been performing until Tuchel was appointed in January.
Understandably, Porto has played a big role in the wealth difference between the two countries. They have a point of view, but this is what it takes to compete at this level.
And Roman Abramovich knows this, which is why he invested again in the first team to reproduce the epic victory of Bayern Munich in 2012.
The Russians' relentless pursuit of success also determined the reason why he gave up the club legend Lampard and introduced Tuchel. Like his boss, Tuchel is a determined figure who desires success.
Tuchel said before the kick-off in Seville: "I am here to win the game, so to win the championship." "This is what I want from myself, so why do we have to say something different now?
"If you want to win in five or three years, I don't know what it is."
This is a person in a hurry. He hopes to win the trophy as soon as possible and in any way. He just wanted to find a way to win, and even if they lost on Tuesday night, they managed to do it.
Chelsea's performance against Porto may be ugly, but because of Tuchel, the end of the season is really beautiful.
