The Blues are 10 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table, and need just two wins in order to seal their first title win in five years.

Writing exclusively for Goal.com, Simeone states that the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool need to aim higher if they want to catch Jose Mourinho's men, while also lamenting the absence of English clubs in the Champions League quarter-finals.

He explained: "I am surprised there are no English clubs left in the Champions League – English football has enormous potential with its footballers and also its financial clout.

"The fact that there is no English team left in the last eight of the Champions League or in the Europa League is a wake-up call for the Premier League to look at why it is that, despite their great economic power and with all the many great footballers playing in England, Chelsea are so far ahead of everyone else and why they have no teams left in Europe."
