Fluminense were the epitome of Brazilian teams at this year's FIFA Club World Cup. They played brilliantly, producing some surprising results. Their run to the semi-finals was a fitting reward for what Brazilian football had to offer this year.

Chelsea, meanwhile, were fortunate to be drawn in a relatively easy draw. In the round of 16, they beat Benfica and then in the quarter-finals defeated Palmeiras, also a Brazilian team.

The English team's form can also be called okay, as they know how to finish off opponents despite difficulties. In this match, Chelsea is rated higher and is expected to win a ticket to the final.

This encounter also marks a special reunion. In the past, veteran center-back Thiago Silva played for Chelsea from 2020 to 2024 and won the Champions League. He then moved to Fluminense. Fate accidentally placed Silva in a match where he faced his old team.

The match between Fluminense and Chelsea in the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will take place at 2:00 a.m. on July 9.
