Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits they weren't at their best for Saturday's Club World Cup final triumph against Palmeiras.

Chelsea won in extra-time 2-1 thanks to Kai Havertz's converted penalty.

Tuchel said, "The atmosphere was fantastic and it felt like an away game. They had a huge crowd and it was amazing. Maybe this tournament isn't so highly regarded in Europe, but once you are here and feel it, it totally catches you.

"It was not nice to watch the semi-final in the office on the screen – as a coach you want to be on the sideline – and I am happy now that all the effort from everybody and support was worth it and we managed to get the cup.

"We don't play our best football and it's not our best moment in general. We struggled a little bit as a team, but as Petr Cech has said many times, we managed to find a way to win."
