Chelsea players Reece James and Christian Pulisic sent congratulatory messages to Argentina after winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 2022 World Cup has reached its conclusion on Sunday with a dramatic penalty shoot-out win for Argentina over France.
Unfortunately, there was no Chelsea player involved in the game as N’Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana, who could have represented France, missed out due to injuries.
Most, if not all, players likely watched the game, however, and few of them have had their say on the final result on social media.
“Congratulations, Argentina,” James wrote on Twitter.
“Messi and Mbappe [clapping hands].”
Pulisic, on the other hand, posted a photo of Messi on an Instagram story and wrote “Thank you [GOAT].”
Like most people, Ben Chilwell was also impressed by the performance of the two sides.
“The biggest players turn up when it counts,” the left-back posted on an Instagram story. “What a game.”
Similarly, new Chelsea signing Gabriel Slonina was in awe of the final.
“I’m glad I’ll be able to tell my kids I watched this World Cup final one day,” the young goalkeeper posted on Twitter.
A number of Chelsea players, including Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, and Thiago Silva, have returned to London for training since Saturday morning.
The Blues will be back in action in nine days as they host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on 27 December.
