Didier Drogba was delighted to see Chelsea finally win the Club World Cup.
The Ivorian was part of Chelsea’s team that suffered a shock loss to Corinthians in the final back in 2012.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were able to overcome Palmeiras last weekend thanks to an extra-time goal from Kai Havertz.
“It means a lot because this trophy, after 2012, we didn’t win it,” Drogba told the club’s website.
“I wasn’t there, we lost it, so that’s why I came to support the team and I hope it worked.

“It’s good to see them lifting the trophy that we were missing and I told the boss that was the only one missing. So I’m really happy. I’m happy about it and congratulations to the players for the performance.
“Winning the Champions League and now being world champions, it says a lot. I only see basketball teams say they are world champions. Today this club are world champions and it’s a big achievement.”
