Levi Colwill Sends Confident Message Ahead of Club World Cup Final: “We’re Not Real Madrid or Inter Miami — We’re Chelsea”
As the dust settles from Paris Saint-Germain’s jaw-dropping 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid, all eyes now turn to Sunday’s final at MetLife Stadium. Chelsea await, and while many are tipping PSG to walk away with the FIFA Club World Cup crown, Levi Colwill has made it clear—Chelsea aren’t here to roll over.
In a brief but bold statement ahead of the clash, the 21-year-old Chelsea defender said:
> “PSG are a fantastic side, no doubt about it — but we’re not Real Madrid or Inter Miami. We’re Chelsea, and we’re ready to show what we’re made of.”

A Final of Giants
It’s a showdown few could have predicted—Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain, two of Europe’s most ambitious clubs, now colliding on the global stage. On one side, PSG are fresh from a clinical 4-0 rout of Real Madrid, with Fabián Ruiz and Ousmane Dembélé leading a masterclass that stunned fans around the world.
On the other side, Chelsea, under new boss Enzo Maresca, are forging a fresh identity. Their semi-final win over Fluminense was less explosive but no less convincing—a 2-0 triumph fueled by João Pedro’s breakthrough performance and strong defensive organisation.
Colwill, part of the new Chelsea core, believes the team’s unity and character will be key in Sunday’s test.

Chelsea’s Defensive Wall
If PSG’s front line—led by Dembélé, Ramos, and Vitinha—was electric against Madrid, Chelsea’s defense will need to be nothing short of watertight. That’s where Colwill and veteran Thiago Silva step in.
Colwill’s words weren’t arrogance—they were belief. This is a Chelsea squad that has been questioned, doubted, even mocked over the past year. But under Maresca, a sense of purpose and confidence is returning.
> “We’ve worked hard for this moment,” Colwill continued. “We’ve got respect for PSG, but no fear. This final means everything, and we’ll give everything.”

Clash of Styles
PSG’s football under Luis Enrique is fluid, quick, and lethal. Chelsea, meanwhile, are pragmatic, building from the back with composure and discipline. The contrast in styles promises a fascinating tactical battle. Can Chelsea absorb PSG’s pressure and strike on the counter? Can they contain the blistering pace of Dembélé and the precision of Ruiz?
If Colwill’s voice reflects the dressing room’s spirit, Chelsea are more than ready to answer those questions.

One Game for Glory
It all comes down to Sunday. For PSG, it’s a chance to finally claim international dominance. For Chelsea, it’s an opportunity to announce the dawn of a new era.
And with Levi Colwill anchoring the back line and speaking with conviction, one thing is clear:
- Chelsea didn’t come to the Club World Cup to participate. They came to make a statement.
