Former Chelsea and current RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has stated that the Premier League poses a more difficult test than the UEFA Champions League, according to a report from Football Muse published on November 6, 2026.
The German international, who spent two seasons at Stamford Bridge from 2020 to 2022, drew on his experience in both competitions to make the comparison. Werner scored 10 goals in 56 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, while also featuring in their 2020-21 Champions League triumph.
Details of Werner's specific reasoning were not included in the available report. The 28-year-old striker returned to RB Leipzig in 2022 and has since continued his career in the Bundesliga and European competition.
