Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel reveals what he told Roman Abramovich after Chelsea FC win
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed what he told Roman Abramovich after winning the club world cup trophy.
After winning a spot in the event with their Champions League title last season, the Blues clinched the famous trophy with an extra-time win over the Brazilian side in Abu Dhabi.
After a scoreless first half, Chelsea FC gained the lead through Romelu Lukaku in the 54th minute, but were leveled 10 minutes later when Raphael Veiga scored from the penalty spot.
Kai Havertz then proved to be the hero once more when he stepped up to convert his penalty in the 117th minute, after scoring the game-winning goal in the Champions League final last May.
