Match report in news

  • 120'
    AET: Chelsea 2-1 (10) Palmeiras!!! All over in Abu Dhabi and Chelsea are the champions! Lukaku had put Chelsea ahead after 55 minutes, but Veiga's VAR penalty nine minutes later sent us to extra-time. In the 117th minute, Chelsea got a VAR penalty themselves which Havertz converted and then Luan was sent off by VAR at the end. Chelsea were the better team overall and they deserved the trophy, in my opinion. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
