Chelsea has had a tumultuous season, to say the least. After winning the Champions League last year, they've struggled this year, sitting ninth in the Premier League with just 31 points from 21 games.
The Blues have also been knocked out of both domestic cups, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. As a result, their only chance of playing in Europe next season is through the Europa League.
Chelsea will need to finish in the top six to qualify for the Europa League. However, they are currently eight points behind sixth-placed Manchester United with 18 games remaining.
It's a tough ask, but not impossible. Chelsea have a good squad, and they've shown in the past that they can turn things around quickly.
If they can do it, they'll be rewarded with a place in the Europa League. And who knows, they could even go all the way and win it.

Chelsea will be desperate to avoid playing in the Europa League, but they may have no choice if they continue to struggle in the Premier League.
Ultimately, it is up to the players to decide whether or not they will play in the Europa League next season. If they can find some consistency and start winning games, they can still achieve their goals.
