Chelsea defender Levi Colwill said the Club World Cup will be bigger than the Champions League after his side beat European champions Paris St Germain 3-0 in the final in New Jersey on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The quadrennial competition will return in 2029, which will be the second edition under the expanded format with 32 teams.<\/p>\n
“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,” the 22-year-old Colwill said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve really enjoyed it, playing games every four or five days. Playing to sold-out stadiums, playing against different teams who you would never normally get a chance to play.”<\/p>\n
The England international said Chelsea would carry the momentum forward having beaten a phenomenal PSG side who had conceded only one goal in the tournament before the final.<\/p>\n
“I said at the start of this tournament that our plan is to win it 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,” Colwill said.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have won the Champions League twice, in 2012 and 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
