ABU DHABI: Kai Havertz scored a penalty deep into extra time as Chelsea defeated Brazil's Palmeiras 2-1 in the Club World Cup final on Saturday to complete their collection of major trophies.
"It's amazing. After champions of Europe, we are now champions of the world. It sounds better," Havertz told Channel 4. They face Lille in the Champions League last 16 either side of the League Cup final against Liverpool and FA Cup fifth round, playing in four different competitions in 12 days. Chelsea's decline in the Premier League has coincided with lack of authority and conviction, and despite controlling possession it wasn't until the end of the first half they forced Weverton into a save.In contrast, Palmeiras were twice left to rue their lack of efficiency as Dudu stabbed well wide before Andreas Christensen made a key intervention to negate a promising attack for the Brazilians.
Australian referee Chris Beath was recommended to review the incident on the touchline monitor as Palmeiras players and coach Abel Ferreira appealed, and he almost immediately pointed to the spot.
