Chelsea boss Tuchel proud to be part of CWC triumph

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was proud to be part of their Club World Cup triumph.

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

Tuchel said, "In the end if you score late you need luck to do it but we were relentless and we did not stop trying.

"We did not give in. We had the lead then lost it but never stopped. It was deserved but also lucky when you score late.

"The penalty does not look nervous [from Kai Havertz] but for sure he was. You cannot not be nervous in this situation. We trusted the statistics and I'm happy for him."

On Chelsea winning every trophy available, the German added: "I'm a part of it and I'm happy to have the chance. We said before in the dressing room 'what an opportunity'.

"We all dream to have finals like this. There is no regrets. There are still things to win and it never stops."
