Chelsea’s Levi Colwill has said his side are ready to win the Premier League and Champions League after they won the Club World Cup — a competition the defender believes will be bigger than the Champions League.
Chelsea came out 3-0 winners against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final in New Jersey on Sunday with a Cole Palmer brace and a goal from new signing João Pedro securing the trophy for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Colwill said Chelsea are looking forward to building on their success and title of world champions.
“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,” Colwill said. “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,” Colwill said. “But we’ll only know that in he future. I think we’re ready and we’ll see next season.”
Chelsea will kick off their Premier League campaign in less than a month, when they face Crystal Palace on Aug. 17.
