Summary
We've really, really, REALLY won it all now...
Matt Davies-Adams has got a bumper crew of Simon Johnson, Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin alongside him to look back on the sensational Club World Cup final victory over Paris Saint Germain in New Jersey on Sunday.
We bask in the gloriousness of Cole Jermaine Palmer, laud Enzo Maresca for the tactical masterclass he put on - and issue a full apology to Malo Gusto who was just one of the players who shone all over the park in the 3-0 win over their formidable French opponents.
So, what does the victory mean for the club? And have expectations just been raised ahead of the fast-approaching 2025-26 campaign?
Just like the players we’re going to have a very truncated post-season and take a couple of weeks off - BUT we’ll be back with all the build up to the new Premier League season, transfer ins and outs and much more.
Follow Liam and Simon’s work on The Athletic in the meantime and stay across our socials for all the latest Blues news.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Simon Johnson, Sam Parkin and Liam Twomey
