Moises Caicedo was at the heart of Chelsea’s celebrations once again as the Blues toasted their FIFA Club World Cup success at a party in New York.
Enzo Marseca’s side earned a surprise 3-0 victory over reigning champions PSG on Sunday night to win the first edition of the expanded 32-team tournament.
Cole Palmer scored twice in the first half before providing the assist for Joao Pedro to net the third in the final.
After Chelsea were awarded the trophy by US President Donald Trump, who bizarrely remained at the heart of the presentation, Blues stars celebrated on the pitch with members of their family.
Enzo Marseca’s jubilant squad then returned to their team hotel, where hundreds of fans had gathered to toast the newly crowned world champions.
Palmer was among the first players off the bus, with the player of the tournament giving an uncharacteristically emotional reaction.

The 23-year-old, still wearing his match shirt and medal was seen clutching his Golden Ball award as he walked towards fans.
Palmer roared in their direction and gestured for them to continue to make noise as his team-mates continued to disembark.
Chelsea players and staff were then treated to a private event to toast their success and celebrate a successful end to a gruelling 11-month season.
The season had seen Maresca lead Chelsea to Champions League qualification and Conference League success, before triumphing at the Club World Cup.
As he had done in Poland after the Conference League, footage from the celebrations showed Caicedo leading the squad with kareoke.
The Blues star was seen holding a microphone and singing, with the midfielder sporting sunglasses and a t-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘world champions’ and the number 25.
Chelsea stars were joined at the event by NFL legend Tom Brady, the seven-time SuperBowl winner.

Reflecting on being part of the success so earlier in his Chelsea career, Essugo wrote on social media ‘Not even in my dreams, thanks GOD for so many blessings’.
Fernandez had shared an Instagram post with Brady and labelled him as the ‘GOAT’, while a separate post wrote ‘CHELSEA !!! CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD’.
Chelsea stars showed off their winners medals in numerous photos, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall asking ‘What are we?’ before adding emojis of the world and a trophy.
Levi Colwill wrote ‘Winners win’ in his social media post, with the defender also seen biting his medal.
The 22-year-old had been bullish about Chelsea’s chances of downing PSG on the eve of the final and had been proved right as the Blues dismantled the European champions.
Head coach Enzo Maresca, the mastermind of Chelsea’s success, was also pictured with members of staff at the New York party.

Footage shared by Chelsea from their dressing room also contained a short interview with recent signing Joao Pedro.
The recent £60m signing from Brighton has made a stunning start to his Chelsea career, having scored twice in the semi-finals before netting their third in the final.
‘Joao, you were on holiday and now you are a world champion,’ he was told in the clip.
Pedro responded ‘What can I say, this is Chelsea.
‘This is why I came, to win trophies, I said before, now I need to enjoy.’
