It still has not sunk in to many that Chelsea have been named the greatest club on earth following their exploits in the United States over the last month.
The Blues capped off a brilliant tournament with a dominant 3-0 win over Champions League holders PSG, with Cole Palmer scoring twice and Joao Pedro finding the net before half-time.
Enzo Maresca made it two trophies in his first campaign at Stamford Bridge, with the Conference League already secured back in May.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly was on the pitch at the end of the game to congratulate his players, and also be part of the post-match ceremony.

He was joined by United States president Donald Trump, with Reece James being surprised by Trump’s presence when he lifted the trophy at the end of the game.
With plenty of top American celebrities in attendance throughout the campaign, many of those congratulated the Blues for their achievement.
One of those was NBA Legend Magic Johnson, who has investments in sports teams in Los Angeles with Boehly. He took to Twitter to congratulate his business partner on his club’s success.
He said: “While I’m at it, congratulations to my other business partners Todd Boehly and Mark Walter on their soccer team Chelsea for beating PSG 3-0 and winning the FIFA Club World Cup!”
Todd Boehly winning over Chelsea fans
After it was reported that there was a rift forming between the two Chelsea owners, Blues fans took the side of Boehly over Behdad Eghbali.
The American has frequently been spotted in attendance at Stamford Bridge since he bought into the club, and was on the pitch after their huge wins against Nottingham Forest and Real Betis recently.
Boehly appealed to Chelsea fans with a recent interview, where he asked supporters to continue to back the side with the phrase: “Keep the blue flag flying high.”
It is fair to say that not everyone has been won over by the ambitious project undertaken at Stamford Bridge so far, but the sight of trophies being lifted is certainly sending things in the right direction.
