Captain Magda Eriksson says there is belief in the camp that Chelsea can reach a second Women's Champions League final.
Chelsea begin their European campaign away to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday in a testing opener, and they will be without Fran Kirby, who is sidelined through illness.
While Chelsea made a group-stage exit last season, it came after reaching the final the previous season, when Barcelona defeated them 4-0.
Preparations have been really good and we are ready for this game," Eriksson said.
It is a tough game in a tough group. We are playing one of the best teams in France, and we will have to work hard for it.
"There are a handful of teams that can win the Champions League this season, and I count PSG as one of the teams that can do it.
But I think our belief is really strong because we know we have it in us. We can reach a final because we have done it, and I think we have got better since.
