Speaking to DR Sports, Terry stated, "We've shown signs this year of being a really young squad. And I say that in terms of performances where you see a really good spell, then we've come off of it lately."

"It was always going to be one of those seasons for me, even when we started well I thought we'd have a little bit of a drop off and we have done that."

Terry emphasised the importance of Champions League qualification for Chelsea, saying, "Champions League has to be the minimum every year for me. When you're playing at a top club like Chelsea, the mentality has to be Champions League football year after year."

The Blues are currently fifth in the Premier League table with 11 fixtures remaining, as they strive to secure Champions League qualification.
