Jamie Carragher has downplayed Chelsea’s recent Club World Cup triumph, emphasizing that the competition lacks the intensity and difficulty of the Premier League or Champions League. He warned that using the trophy as a sign of future domestic or European dominance would be misleading. According to Carragher, the level of competition in the Club World Cup simply doesn’t match up to Europe’s top leagues. Carragher also questioned Chelsea’s place in the tournament, noting they qualified by winning the Champions League four years ago—under a different coach and with a mostly different squad. He described FIFA’s criteria as “weird” and suggested that Chelsea’s participation was more about legacy than merit. His comments reflect broader skepticism about the tournament’s relevance to top-tier football success. #Chelsea #Carragher #ClubWorldCup #CFC #PremierLeague #FootballNews #FIFA #JamieCarragher #UCL #EPL

🗣️ Andrea Pirlo: "Many people say that I deserved at least one Ballon d'Or. I'm thinking that if Xavi and Iniesta never won it with everything they've accomplished, I shouldn't even be considered a candidate." 🤝
