Chelsea’s next game after Sunday’s Club World Cup final is on August 8, as they play Bayer Leverkusen at Stamford Bridge in their first pre-season friendly. That would be the first opportunity for the club to present the trophy, or trophies, won to fans.

Maresca's club won the Conference League Final and could give him a second Chelsea trophy as well, but Les Parisiens are at the end of what could turn out to be one of, if not the finest seasons in the sport.

Germain's "team of stars" can deliver the "icing on the cake" for their incredible season in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
