Chelsea were spectacular as to help the London club become the first team to with Fifa’s revamped tournament.

That victory means that are now the first club to have won every major trophy on offer for an English team, adding the Club World Cup to titles like the Premier League, , and Conference League.

But their success has also done wonders for owner , who is now one of just a handful sports team owners to have seen his teams be crowned world champions in multiple sports.

Boehly is also a co-owner of Major League Baseball franchise the LA Dodgers, who won the 2024 World Series - meaning the 51-year-old American is now technically a two-time world champion.

He joins the exclusive club of owners to do so, including ‘s head honcho , who achieved the same feat with two of his US teams.

Kroenke’s NFL franchise the LA Rams, and his NHL team the Colorado Avalanche, won the and the Stanley Cup respectively in 2022 - both earning the title of world champions in their sports.

Unfortunately for Arsenal fans, Kroenke is yet to deliver any big ticket trophies in North London despite ‘s best efforts in the Premier League and Champions League in recent seasons.

Boehly, who following the game, has every right to feel smug after his much-criticized player trading model paid dividends for the first time.

Clearlake capital and Boehly have taken the brunt of league-wide fan anger since their takeover for splashing way in excess of £1BILLION on new signings.

And although there was a general consensus that the bold method of stock-piling young talent on mammoth contracts and selling the deadwood was failing, the Blues’ success in the US - coupled with their stellar performances - could change the way Boehly’s methods are viewed.

However, the first challenge Chelsea boss will face in continuing the club’s success is managing the shortened break and hectic schedule on the horizon for the SW6 outfit.

Chelsea will now have to settle for a shorter post-season break and than their Premier League rivals after going all the way in the Club World Cup.
