Well I get to eat crow (I believe that means what I think it means, remember English is not my native tongue). Well actually all I said was that if I had to bet I would bet on PSG who looked the better team. Well Chelsea won with three first half goals and that was that.

It actually was a good game and the score does not reflect what happened in the field, I have checked the stats and PSG came out ahead in nearly all of them, but you actually win with goals. And the three Chelsea goals were excellent, all three created by a great Palmer, all three impossible for Donnarumma. On the other side Sanchez probably had the best game he has played with Chelsea, he stopped everything.

But the game itself was very good for an impartial observer, three great goals, two teams giving their best, great goalkeeper saves and even some violent play that is a given in games like this. The referee did not influence the outcome of the game but he should have sent off Cucurella and Caicedo in the final minutes, this would not have changed the result, but it does question the referee's quality.

This result also gives football a huge surge, PSG is the UEFA Champions League Champ, Chelsea won the Conference League, so probably those two are not quite as far apart in quality as is thought. Good for the Premier League and in fact also good for the French League, they put two teams in the CWC final. This also shows that Europe does have the best Leagues in the World, with only Brazil showing it is near. But we also saw that other Continents are improving, Monterrey for Concacaf did good, Al Ittihad was great for Asia and the South African team was pretty good.

Over all I would say this Club World Cup was a success, but we will see how it affects the clubs that participated, I mean this is a lot of games for one season, league, cup, continental cups and on top of that a World Cup in the US where distances are enormous. I guess it is worth it if the fans enjoyed it. I even liked the Half Time show.

Just so you know, I did not bet, so I did not lose.
