A formidable unbeaten run, like the one Leeds United had put together in 2024 before meeting Chelsea, always has to come to an end at some point. The next great challenge for the manager who has crafted that streak is managing the fallout and stopping the balloon from exploding altogether.
The Whites have huffed and puffed into that balloon with win after win since the turn of the year. There have been draws and extra-time wins in the FA Cup, but the machine has rolled on and on, going for 12 matches before running into one of the most expensively assembled teams in history.
As mediocre as Chelsea have been in the Premier League this season, they have an immense amount of individual talent that can win any game on any given day. When that talent then faces a Championship outfit, the gulf only grows.
