FOOTAGE of Todd Boehly’s response to being asked about the Champions League has gone viral – and Blues fans are loving his answer.
Enzo Maresca’s side won the Club World Cup on Sunday evening, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.
Cole Palmer’s double and Joao Pedro’s goal in the first half was enough to seal victory in New York.
A statement win over the 2025 Champions League champions had Blues fans in dream land – so much so, they shouted to co-owner Boehly about being the new European champions next season.
Footage posted on social media shows Boehly walking off the pitch, and fans can be heard yelling “Champions League 2026” repeatedly at him.
The American grins back as he clocks on to what the supporters are saying and sticks a thumb up in agreement – and fans on social media have been excited by his promise.
One said: “He is so Chels.”
A second, referring to Chelsea’s two previous Champions League wins in 2012 and 2021, added: “Number three loading.”
A third praised Boehly, saying: “This is the kind of hungry owners we need at our club.”
Another fan simply said: “UCL 2026 here we come.”

After a strong start to the 2024/25 campaign, Chelsea finished the Premier League campaign in fourth, qualifying for Europe’s top flight.
They also won Europe’s third tier, the Europa Conference League, in May, beating Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw, Poland.
Now, the Blues have another tournament win under their belt at the Club World Cup – which was full of bizarre moments.
That included President Donald Trump being trapped in the celebrations during the trophy lift and a bust up that saw PSG boss Luis Enrique slap Pedro – which he could now face a total coaching ban for.
Maresca’s side will no doubt be hunting for further glory this campaign, and Chelsea have already been busy this summer, already recruiting attacking options Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
Meanwhile, star winger Noni Madueke is expected to sign for Arsenal for £55million – but a section of Gunners fans have been blasted by former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand for their reaction to the news.
