After the Champions League and the European Super Cup, the Chelsea of the German Thomas Tuchel drops the trio and rises to the top of the world, winning the Club World Cup, thanks to the victory in the final over the Brazilians of Palmeiras.
The Sao Paulo team lost 2-1 in extra time, just 3 'from 120', condemned by a penalty by Havertz, awarded by the Australian referee Chris Bearth for a hand foul on Azpilicueta's conclusion.
It is the first world title for the 'Blues', who had taken part in the final phase of the Club World Cup only in 2012, but had lost in the final against another Brazilian team, Corinthians, another team from San Paolo.
On the ground of the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, Chelsea took the lead with Romelu Lukaku, after 9 'of the second half,
but was reached by a penalty from Raphael Veiga in the 19 '.
In the end, nothing more happened and we proceeded with extra time, during which very little happened.
From 117 'onwards, however, everything changes: first a penalty for Chelsea, granted with the help of the Var, is transformed by the young German Kai Havertz, who displaces the Brazilian goalkeeper Weverton with his right.
Chelsea could drop the trio in the recovery of the extension, but Havertz himself is mowed down just before entering the area by Luan, who is sent off.
It ends in glory for the 'Blues' who had Jorginho on the bench, but many former Italian champions on the field (Thiago Silva, Ruediger, Kovacic, Lukaku, except for Marcos Alonso on the bench), in tears for the Palmeiras of Portuguese Abel Ferreira, furious against the
referee in the final match.
Palmeiras comes out with their heads held high, but the title ends up on the notice board of Chelsea, who thus signs a splendid international 'treble' between 2021 and 2022.
