Terry, Mourinho on Chelsea's 2005 Triumph Over Arsenal

John Terry, former Chelsea captain, asserts that Chelsea's 2004-05 Premier League-winning team, managed by Jose Mourinho, was superior to Arsenal's 2003-04 Invincibles, citing a record-breaking 95 points and only one loss compared to Arsenal's 12 draws. Terry emphasizes Chelsea's remarkable defensive record of conceding just 15 goals and criticizes the lack of recognition for their achievements, attributing the success to Mourinho's exceptional management. Mourinho and Frank Lampard echo Terry's sentiments, with Mourinho dismissing comparisons and Lampard advocating for Chelsea's inclusion in discussions of the greatest Premier League teams. Terry's view contrasts with Chelsea winger Pedro Neto's omission of Cristiano Ronaldo, a national teammate, from his list of greatest athletes, prioritizing Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. Eden Hazard, another Chelsea legend, though hailed by Terry in his prime, retired at 32 without reaching the heights of Messi or Ronaldo.
