Chelsea’s defender Levi Colwill has expressed his belief that the FIFA Club World Cup will surpass the UEFA Champions League in significance. Colwill played a crucial role in the unexpected 3-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, where Cole Palmer scored twice and new recruit Joao Pedro contributed a goal. When asked if Chelsea could capitalize on this victory to secure the Premier League or Champions League titles, the 22-year-old affirmed, “Absolutely. I mentioned at the beginning of this tournament that our goal is to win it, and people thought I was out of my mind.” Now, as I enter the Premier League and Champions League, I’ll express it the same way: “This is the most significant trophy I have ever achieved.” I believe the Club World Cup will surpass the Champions League in importance, and we were the inaugural champions. “That victory was significant, and if we continue to secure titles, we’ll eventually gain the recognition we deserve. “However, that’s something we can only determine over time. “I believe we’re prepared, and we’ll find out next season.” Chelsea secured a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season and triumphed in the Conference League during a remarkable debut season with manager Enzo Maresca. This year has been pivotal for co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, marking their first substantial success since acquiring the club in 2022. Additionally, Mikel praised Sanchez for his outstanding performance against PSG. The recruitment of many young players on long-term deals has not been well-received by certain members of the football community. However, Colwill is confident that Chelsea has formed a strong team that can replicate previous successes. “We embody teamwork, which is part of Chelsea’s identity.” You remain united regardless of the circumstances. “I believe that players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Didier Drogba laid the foundation for us, and we’re continuing that legacy,” he stated. “They were outstanding athletes who achieved a lot, but we have exceptional talent on our team, especially among the youth, and our goal is to secure the most prestigious titles for Chelsea. We have the ability to accomplish this.”
