Premier League side Chelsea have rediscovered the knack of winning major trophies after coming out victorious in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Blues defeated ten-man PSG 3-0 in the 2025 final of the revamped tournament to add to their UEFA Conference League triumph in May.
But where does the west London outfit now rank among the most successful English sides in the 21st century? Let’s find out.
The new millennium started out so well for Arsenal, who won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups between 2002 and 2005. But they have only managed to lift silverware on four occasions since then, all of which have come in the cup.
Before winning the Premier League in 2020, Liverpool fans would often speak about the 30 years of hurt they were having to endure without a top-flight title. And while that is a long time for such a big club to go without winning the league, they won a lot major trophies in the intervening years. Including two Champions Leagues!
The Reds are firmly back among the elite now and we expect them to climb further up this list over the next couple of years.
Sir Alex Ferguson led Manchester United to an almost unprecedented level of success up until his retirement in 2014. And even though the club have fallen off dramatically in the time since then, they have still managed to pick up silverware along the way, winning each of the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup twice.
Manchester City went the first 11 years of this century without winning a major trophy, but a ginormous level of investment from Khaldoon Al Mubarak has seen the club dominate English football over the past decade and a half.
There could be an asterisk attached to their list of honours over much of that period, though, if they are found guilty of the 130 charges levied against them by the Premier League for breaking financial rules.
After waiting over three years for one trophy, like London buses two have arrived in quick succession to see Chelsea leapfrog City in these standings.
Although many in European football circles don’t take the Club World Cup for a serious competition, Chelsea certainly did. But their celebrations were overshadowed by US President Donald Trump’s refusal to exit left for the trophy lift.
Their success over the past two decades was initially powered by the vast riches of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, under whose ownership they won multiple Premier Leagues, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues and a host of domestic cups.
