The Chelsea boss' whirlwind Abu Dhabi trip paid off as the Blues edged out Palmeiras 2-1 after extra-time.

“It was not easy to shoot this penalty. “And for me in the moment when we were in total control and were the better team, finding spaces better and better, in this moment we gave a penalty away from a throw-in which is very unusual. “And before overtime we changed the structure again, with a different structure to attack and defend counter-attacks. “And the team did very, very well in extra-time to control the match completely. “So we changed the structure a little bit in the second-half, we found the spaces better, scored a wonderful goal and had some two, three good chances, half-chances after that. “So this was more or less the first-half, we were a bit stuck and we struggled for fluidity.

The PL teams with the most trophies since Abramovich bought ... (PlanetFootball)

Chelsea's 2-1 win over Palmeiras in the Club World Cup final means that the Blues have now won every trophy available since Roman Abramovich bought the club ...

Chelsea will hope to add to their collection, and are still in contention for Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup glory this season, but look to be just too far off Manchester City for the title. With five Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, five FA Cups, three League Cups and now the Club World Cup, Chelsea sit on top of the tree, and have Roman Abramovich and Kai Havertz to thank. However, failure to challenge for the League title at all, and cup final losses to Chelsea and Villarreal have meant that United could soon be overtaken by Chelsea in major honours since 2003, and with Liverpool just one league title behind, they will hope their problems are resolved sooner rather than later. 10 top-flight teams have also won trophies during this same period, although some are much closer to Chelsea’s 21 honours than others. With three titles in a row between 2007 and 2009, as well as Champions League glory against Chelsea, the Red Devils have won everything on offer since 2003, with their most recent success coming in the Europa League final in 2017. They have since ended the drought in style, with four FA cups and four Community Shields in eight years, but nothing but near misses in the Premier League and Europe. Arsenal fans will never forget this😂😩😂. Despite a few years in the wilderness, Liverpool have been immensely successful since 2003, winning two Champions Leagues, two Club World Cups, the FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield and their long-awaited Premier League title in 2019. Despite reaching the League Cup final again, and the Champions League final in 2019, Spurs are yet to add to this trophy 14 years on. Leicester added to this in 2021, beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup final, before beating the champions Manchester City in the Community Shield. A very respectable level of success. A team constantly ridiculed for the size of their trophy haul, especially when compared to some of their rivals, Tottenham’s only success since 2003 was in the 2008 League Cup, where they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley. The Russian billionaire has brought massive success to a club that had won just one top-flight title and five domestic cups in the 98 years before his arrival, and this latest triumph on top of the 2021 Champions League has cemented Chelsea’s place as one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Didier Drogba backs Romelu Lukaku to put troubles behind him at Chelsea (unknown)

The former Chelsea forward believes Lukaku is 'bouncing back' after the Belgian scored the opening goal against Palmeiras.

You keep adding and adding to the cabinet and it’s nice. “Our aim is always to win games and win as many as possible. If I went out in the summer I wouldn’t get opportunities to play like this and win trophies. At the end of the day, we will wait until that time comes.” “This chance doesn’t come very often and we did a very good job,” the captain said. “But he’s winning and I think he’s going to make it.” “You want to win as much as possible with a club like this,” he said. “We started by winning the League, the FA Cup, the Carling Cup. The goal was to win trophies, but also to inspire the next generations. Chelsea’s focus now will be on a successful end to the season. The Ivorian was often outspoken during his playing career and was Chelsea’s main man when they first brought Lukaku to England in the summer of 2011. It is not easy to lead the line for Chelsea. Lukaku made little impact during his first spell at Stamford Bridge and expectations were high when he returned to west London last summer, but he has been unable to help Tuchel’s side challenge for the title. Encouragingly, there were signs of an improvement in the Middle East. Lukaku scored the winner when Chelsea beat Al Hilal in the last four on Wednesday and he opened the scoring with a fine header as the European champions saw off Palmeiras in Saturday’s final.
