You can almost mirror the images of Thomas Tuchel speaking with Roman Abramovich after the Champions League final in the Estadio do Dragao with those at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium after the Club World Cup final.
Both were smiling and were provided with a backdrop of Chelsea fans and players celebrating a historic triumph.
This time the celebrations felt more laid back than those in Porto. Probably due to the significance a Champions League crown brings, but also the reality Tuchel and his players have over three months left of the current season to go with four competitions to conclude.
After pictures emerged of the coach and owner chatting, Tuchel was predictably questioned in the post-match press conference over what was said.
Like in Porto, Tuchel did not try to bat away the question.
The German took a self-deprecating tone last year by revealing he had joked with Abramovich it can only go down from here.
On Saturday it more took the path of Tuchel praising his boss for the long-term transformation of Chelsea under his investment since 2003.
"It’s for him. There is no doubt it’s for him," Tuchel said after Chelsea won their first Club World Cup.
"We met shortly on the pitch after the final and I said congratulations and he said congratulations. I said, ‘it’s for you, it’s your club and it’s your input passion that made this possible’. We are happy to be part of it. Of course, the trophy is for him."
This is the 21st honour under Abramovich since 2003 and the last to collect after winning the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup.
Chelsea join an elite cast of clubs to reach a grand slam and you only get the feeling trophies under Tuchel will not be paused anytime soon.
This was arguably a bit of a full stop of Abramovich's first era at Stamford Bridge. 2023 will mark 20 years since his takeover and how the next decade plays out will be highly intriguing.
Although the ridiculous flow of trophies has not stopped, this season is highly likely to mark five years without a Premier League title, the largest gap since 2005.
It speaks to the domestic hurdle Chelsea now face to topple a formidable rival like Manchester City with Liverpool likely to challenge for the foreseeable future.
The short-term and chaotic nature to life under Abramovich is in keeping with life before him. In some ways, Chelsea and chaos are bonded together for life.
But for Chelsea to turn their recent European and world success into something more impactful in England's top tier, this summer is absolutely huge for the club.
Not only in terms of major incoming but also outgoings and how Abramovich sees the club beyond 2023.
As Chelsea lifted the last prize to collect, Man City moved 16 points clear of them at Norwich. A reminder of the biggest challenge Tuchel faces in the job.
