BLUE FUN DAY

Lavia hails mentality of Enzo's storm troopers

ROMEO LAVIA insists Chelsea have "gained a lot" from the "craziest game" he has ever played in.

Chelsea face Palmeiras in Friday's quarter-final in Philadelphia with a growing belief they can go all the way in the Club World Cup.

Belgium midfielder Lavia says the Blues have always had confidence they could win the trophy in the United States which would pocket the club £97m in prize money.

But if there was a big moment in their campaign then it was the celebrations after they saw off Benfica in extra time in the last 16.

Chelsea were on course for a 1-0 win before the game was delayed by weather for nearly two hours with the players taken off the pitch before Benfica nicked a last-gasp equaliser.
