You can write many stories about what makes the heart of a champion, you can talk about the strength of the squad, you even say it was luck but to this group of players they can say they accomplished things that nobody accomplished before at Chelsea Football Club, they became the first group of players to help Chelsea win every trophy available.
12 years on from heartbreak against another Brazilian side, it was looking to go a similar way towards the end when Palmeiras were blocking all Chelsea’s attempts, the crowd, full of boys in green, went mental as Palmeiras tucked in an equalising penalty, the character from Chelsea was tested, from losing Ben Chilwell and Reece James this season to the absence of Mendy through one of these most impactful times of the season.
Devastation on the faces of the losing side Palmeiras who waited over 50 years for the chance to hoist the coveted trophy, Chelsea take the trophy back to London and will prepare for a Premier league match against Crystal Palace, whilst getting the opportunity to wear the gold badge on the shirt at sometime in the future, Chelsea, the trophy machines over the last 10 -15 years, have done it again.
The leader today was the £110M man Romelu Lukaku and in the 41st minute a powerful header smashed into the goal, for the unexpected keeper who had no chance. Palmeiras fought hard for their fans but in the end It was the man Kai Havertz who showed he has knack for these things showing up when Chelsea needed him most. For a 22 year old who cost a lot of money some could say well this is what Chelsea bought him for and to an extent it is very true that Chelsea and Tuchel can count on him in the big games. His form needs to improve in the league but I’m sure that will come with time and I’m positive that he can deliver another huge moment at the end of February when we take on Liverpool?
