THE TIMES
About this episode


Stop the press Chelsea are champions of the world. Who saw that coming? They didn’t just win; they won in style dominating a PSG team who had previously swept all before them.

Chelsea reporter Pete Rutzler was in New York for the game and joins Tom Clarke to discuss Chelsea’s performance.  Was it a Maresca masterclass? Have they created a blueprint of how to beat PSG?

Are Chelsea now serious title contenders? Might they even strengthen more before the season starts? Plus, all the latest on the other key signings at Arsenal, Spurs and reaction to Crystal Palace being demoted to the Europa Conference league.
