Chelsea's season has been s***

David Luiz believes that Chelsea's season will be a "s***" one if they do not win the Premier League.

Wednesday night's 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid saw Jose Mourinho's side crash out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage, with earlier exits in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup leaving just the league title to claim.

Chelsea are outsiders to win a fifth top-flight crown following recent losses to Sunderland and Crystal Palace but Luiz feels that a trophy is a must if the season is not to be deemed a failure.

"You can say it is a s*** season if you don't have trophies in a season at a big club. That is true," Luiz told reporters.

"We are a big club and we want to win trophies. We keep fighting in the league. We cannot win automatically. It will be difficult.

"We have many fantastic players and everyone wants to win trophies. It is normal when you sit at home and watch television to see Chelsea fighting for trophies.

"We need to be men and it is not always possible to win. The season we won [the Champions League] was a s*** season until the end and then we won two titles at the end."

Fernando Torres gave Chelsea the lead on Wednesday night before goals from Adrian Lopez, Diego Costa and Arda Turan saw the Primera Division leaders progress to the final.

Captain John Terry was seen in tears at the final whistle, an expression of emotion that Luiz admires as it shows a player's "personality" and "fight".

He continued: "Everyone is crying. Nobody likes to lose a Champions League semi-final - not just John.

"We have to remember we are lucky people who have the best job in the world. We have to respect that people at home do not have the same life as us.

"The most important thing is the personalities for me. We need to fight in many situations. This is sport, this is football. Everyone speaks about results but, in the end, you need to remember everyone here is human. Everyone gave their best all season. Everyone can make mistakes – that is normal - but you cannot hide yourself from any situations.

"I do my job every day. I gave everything. If there were many s*** games, when you didn't run, then fine but we gave our best in many, many games but sometimes it's possible to win, sometimes not."

It's easier in England than in Spain too. The Spanish media hounded over Mou when he made certain decisions, such as benching Ramos, Casillas, and getting in scraps with Ronaldo and Alonso. The English media is a b*tch, but they don't hound you for decisions you make at the club. Mou can have more comfort when choosing who to play and who to not play.

On the contrary to Luiz's opinion, I thought Chelsea have had a decent season. It may have been disappointing for them, but it's something to build on. Mourinho will be looking for more offensive tactics next season due to his lack of goals in this one, and they'll be more entertaining to watch too. He just needs the money (which he has aplenty), and a few transfer windows. Reaching the semi-finals of the CL is a pretty good achievement, and you have the honor of potentially losing out to the champions, which isn't that bad at all.

Chelsea made CL which is a plus. It is clear that they have stability now as a group under a great coach. All they need is a top forward like Costa, or Falcao....... Torres, Eto'o, and Ba are good, but like Mourinho mean't to say, Chelsea need a prolific Striker. He said 'We have no Striker' out of frustration.

It's a growing squad, next year it may look like this

Courtois

Azpilicueta Cahill Zouma Shaw

Matic Paulinho

Willian Oscar Hazard

Costa

and we'll have youngsters like Van Ginkel Kalas Hazard(Thorgan) Schurlle Salah Daehli Ake Piazon

and we might hold onto experienced players like Ivanovic Lampard Terry Cech/Schwarzer etc
