Chelsea Supporters have lambasted former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher for underestimating the value of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
During The Overlap show, one of the fans told the pundit that Chelsea are the best club in the world at the moment after winning the inaugural edition of the FIFA Club World Cup.
In response, the Sky Sports pundit rejected the assertion, arguing that it is not a competitive competition, as some people claim, because some top teams did not participate.
He noted that the absence of La Liga champions Barcelona, Premier League champions Liverpool, and Serie A champions Napoli from the tournament makes it non-competitive.

In the course of the interactive session, one Chelsea fan said, “We are the greatest team in the world.”
Carragher retorted, “It’s not a proper competition; how can you be Champions of the World if the champions of England, Spain, and Italy weren’t even in it?”
This remark has sparked fury among Chelsea fans, who chided Carragher for being obsessed with the club by consistently making negative utterances.

There were others who asserted that Carragher is talking out of pain because his former club Liverpool could not qualify for the tournament.
Some urged him to stay away from commenting on Chelsea stories following his consistent ill comments.

Said we weren’t a proper club this time last year. Not joking when I say the club should deny him access to Stamford bridge on matchdays

Jamie Carragher never won the Premier League.
Funnily enough, he never won the Club World Cup either…. bottled it to Sao Paulo in 2005.
But yeah, let’s take his opinions on either of those competitions 🥴🥴🥴🥴 pic.twitter.com/Ku8Bhg3if7

Carragher is a disgrace to football. Each he opens his mouth to talk about football, I feel so ashamed. Can someone tell this clown 🤡 to stop talking.

So if the champions of Euros, CAF, CONCACAF, Asia don’t qualify for the world cup then it means the world cup is not a proper competition right? Ewedu logic!

FIFA please respond to this… @FIFAcom president, isn’t the @FIFACWC a world-class, global-oriented tournament anymore? So why is it regarded as not a proper competition by a certain someone? Meanwhile here is a reminder: Chelsea FC is a world champion. Up the Chels 💙
Jamie…
