The class of Chelsea
Under manager Jose Mourinho, Chelsea have lost just one league game this season and conceded only 13 goals in 35 games.
The Portuguese coach, who is the tactical brains behind the team's success, nurtured a bunch of committed and disciplined individuals and guided the London club into the Champions League semi-finals in his first season in England, less than a year after steering Porto to the European crown.
"The mentality, the ambition the desire... people from many different places met for the first time in July and from that moment we built something," he said after winning the Premier League.
"When we have to play, we play, when we have to fight, we fight and when we have to suffer, we suffer -- always together."
