They think it’s all over, it is now. The longest season in Chelsea’s history has finally ended and Hollywood couldn't have scripted a more incredible ending. Like it or not - and a lot of people don’t - Chelsea can call themselves FIFA Club World Champions for the next four years. Are they the best team in the world? Probably not. Do they care what anyone else thinks? Definitely not.
They defied the odds here at the MetLife Stadium by outplaying and outfighting, almost literally at one stage, the mighty Paris Saint-Germain. Cole Palmer - who else - was the star of the show. The man of few words scored two goals and set up a third for Joao Pedro. Palmer will be one of the stars of the World Cup next summer and England will benefit from what he has experienced in the US over the past four weeks.
This tournament was supposed to be about Messi, Mbappe, Dembele and Kane. Instead, it ended up being about Palmer and Chelsea - and Donald Trump. The glitzy final had Tom Brady, Robbie Williams, Coldplay and the President of the United States, who in characteristic fashion, took centre stage for the trophy presentation.
The whole occasion was slightly surreal. The sun was shining, the stadium was packed, the football was high quality and FIFA president Gianni Infantino looked like the happiest man in the world, sitting next to the most powerful man in the world watching his Club World Cup dream come true.
This tournament has been controversial for a long list of reasons, but Chelsea don’t care about that at all. This win has put Chelsea back on the map again. It has made Chelsea great again.
