Chelsea hero Kai Havertz has spoken after his side won the Club World Cup Title for the very first time.

The Blues beat Palmeiras 2-1 in extra time, with Romelu Lukaku’s opening the scoring in the first half and Raphael Veiga equalising in the second.

Deep into extra time, Chelsea were awarded a penalty for a Palmeiras handball and Havertz converted from the spot to seal the win.

Speaking to newsmen after the match, Havertz reacted to his side’s triumph as they were named the Champions of the World.

“It’s amazing. From Champions of Europe to Champions of the World. It sounds better! We did so much to be here, to win this game. An incredible feeling.”

He also spoke on his winning penalty as he said: “I have to be honest, I was (nervous). It’s a big penalty, a big role. Just crazy. It was good I kept the nerves. I’m very happy.

“I think I’m the third penalty taker. Jorgi and Rom were both out. I was the only one on the pitch. The other players gave me trust. Hakim, everybody said ‘you do it, you do it.” Havertz added.
