#CFF #ChelseaFC #ClubWorldCup #FIFA
There are plenty of Chelsea players with tears in their eyes. This meant a lot to them and it shows. It was not a classic by any means, but it is a second major trophy this season, with the Carabao Cup to come when they return to England.
Insult to injury. Luan, who gave away the penalty, is sent off in the final moments as he stops Havertz from running through on goal.
The boy who won the European title might just have won the world title! Palmeiras took an age delaying that spot-kick and it looked like Azpilicueta was going to step up and take it as captain.
But there was a change of plan and Havertz stepped up – great call as he sends the ‘keeper the wrong way.
Penalty to Chelsea! It’s the Blues’ turn to benefit from VAR! Azpilicueta jabs at goal on the volley and it hands the hand of Luan. A bit harsh, to be honest, but Chelsea will not care.
That was close! As close as we’ve come for a long while, in fact. The ball is delivered from the right and Havertz is waiting to nod in from a yard out but Gomez makes a crucial defensive header.
More sprightly stuff from Werner down the left but as soon as he beats one man another appears. You’ve got to hand it to Palmeiras, they have been so resolute.
Steven Wingrove said; “Just have to counter Jack’s claim that Brazilians put aside club differences to support “the Brazilian team”. That may be the case in the notoriously top-flight-free Brasília, but here in São Paulo, everyone who is not Paleimerense was supporting Chelsea (even me and I’m Liverpool).
It all kicked off here in the road in the closing minutes with insults being hurled from house to house as the celebrations by Corinthians, São Paulino’s and Santistas started!”.
