City have splashed yet more cash, signing Javi Garcia, Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair and Matija Nastasic amongst others. United have opened up the chequebook with Kagawa, van Persie and Buttner. Juventus have strengthened with Isla, Asamoah and Giovinci. Real bought Modric. Barca bought Alba and Song. PSG and Zenit lavished tens of millions on the likes of Ibrahimovic, Hulk, Thiago Silva.

Winning the Champions League just got harder, making Chelsea€™s mission to be the first team to retain their European crown that more challenging.
