Former Chelsea left-back and current Flamengo manager Filipe Luis has shared his thoughts on who he believes will win this season's Premier League, and while his heart still beats blue, his head leans towards Manchester City.
Appearing as a special guest on the Obi One Podcast hosted by John Obi Mikel, the Brazilian offered a thoughtful and passionate take on Europe's biggest clubs, praising Chelsea's tactical evolution under Enzo Maresca while acknowledging the dominance of Manchester City. Filipe Luis, who won the Premier League and League Cup with Chelsea in the 2014/15 season, spoke with the authority of someone who understands what it takes to compete at the highest level of the game.
He reflected on how Chelsea's philosophy has transformed since his playing days, noting that Maresca's modern approach and bold attacking patterns have reintroduced a sense of identity and unpredictability to the team. The former Atletico Madrid star revealed that even as a coach himself, he studies Chelsea's structure closely, admiring how difficult it is to play against them.
