Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has come out to say that winning the Club World Cup will be considered more prestigious than lifting the UCL in the near future. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Blues can build on their success in the United States by challenging for the Premier League and Champions League in the 2025-26 campaign, and he believes the players are very ready for the challenge.
Colwill added that the current Chelsea team is capable of winning the best trophies.
His words, “I said at the start of this tournament that our plan is to win it [Club World Cup] and people looked at me as if I was crazy. So I’m going to say the exact same thing now going into the Premier League and Champions League. This is the biggest trophy I’ve ever won. I think the Club World Cup will be bigger than the Champions League and we were the first team to win it. It was a statement victory and, in the future, if we keep winning trophies then everyone will give us the love that we deserve. But we’ll only know that in he future. I think we’re ready and we’ll see next season.
We’re a team and that’s in the Chelsea identity. You stick together no matter what. I think players like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, they started that and we’re carrying it on. They were all amazing players, the best players who won a lot but we’ve got the best players in our team — young players for sure — and that’s our plan, to win the biggest trophies for Chelsea. We’re definitely capable of doing it. I think we’ve shown that. Everyone said that PSG were the best team in the world but we won 3-0.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
