For Chelsea supporters, the sad reality is there is not much to like about the club at the moment.
While the Blues were able to secure a point at Anfield on Saturday after drawing 1-1 with Liverpool, before that, they were on a six-game losing streak in the Premier League.

Whatever the case, there is one Real Madrid icon who still appreciates Chelsea.
Iker Casillas’ favourite English team is Chelsea
Iker Casillas was recently asked by ESPN Brasil to name his favourite club from different countries, including England.
Out of all the teams in England, Chelsea were the outfit that the Real Madrid and Spain legend picked.
In his career, Casillas only played against Chelsea twice, and that was when he was at Porto after leaving Real Madrid. The 44-year-old won one of those games and lost the other — both were in the Champions League.

The Club World Cup winners would love to have a goalkeeper like Casillas in his prime right now.
Goalkeeper has been a problem position for Chelsea this season, with Filip Jorgensen once again not convincing during Saturday’s draw with Liverpool.
Calum McFarlane defended Jorgensen after the game, but it has been very apparent during the current campaign that Chelsea need someone more reliable than the 24-year-old and Robert Sanchez, someone who is as reliable as Casillas was at his peak.
