A 117th-minute penalty in Abu Dhabi by Kai Havertz who also scored their 2021 champions League winner cleared the way for Chelsea to win every possible trophy under the ownership of the Russian billionaire Abramovich.

 

Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring with a header in the second half before Raphael Velga leveled from the spot. Palmeiras defender Luan was sent off in added time as the blues sealed the victory.

 

Similar to their semi-final win against Al-Hilal, When Chelsea dominated possession but struggled to create chances for much of the final in the United Arab Emirates.

 

With the scores level and a penalty shoot-out looming, Chelsea secured the trophy with a spot-kick of their own. Luan’s handball was also checked on the monitor before Germany playmaker Havertz fired home.
