The first finalists of the Club World Cup will be revealed this Tuesday evening, as the semi-final between Chelsea and Fluminense will be played. The Londoners are favorites on paper, while this is the first historic clash between the two clubs.
Fluminense, without the slightest doubt, can be considered the surprise of this edition of the Club World Cup that is taking place in the United States of America.
The Brazilian team, underestimated by many, has managed to defeat every opponent and is now close to a place in the grand final.
Facing the London "blues" is considered a difficult challenge, as the differences on paper are large, however football remains unpredictable.
The Brazilians, led by coach Renato Gaucho, are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions.
On the other hand, Chelsea comes into this match as the winner of the Conference League, the trophy that ended the season for them in Europe.
Both teams face significant absences, especially Chelsea, where coach Maresca will not have his new transfer signing, Liam Delap, suspended due to bookings.
The Fluminense coach showed determination before the challenge: "We didn't come here just to participate, but to win."
"Our goal is the same as Chelsea's: to reach the final," said Renato Gaucho.
