Do not miss a detail of the match with the live updates and commentaries of VAVEL. Follow along with us all the details, commentaries, analysis and lineups for this Chelsea vs Palmeiras match for the Club World Cup 2022.
This Saturday will be an unprecedented final in the United Arab Emirates, because Chelsea and Palmeiras have never had the honor of being at the same time on a field of play and in any international tournament.
Control and balance in the midfield make Raphael Veiga one of the most valuable men with the "Timao", but, in addition, he is also a goal scorer, remembering that he was one of the scorers in the last victory against Ahly.
The Moroccan Hakim Ziyech did not have a good goal in the semifinal game, however, he was the most outstanding player of Thomas Tuchel's team, creating unbalance both on the wings and in the center, in addition to his mid-range shots.

In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, Palmeiras and Chelsea will have to decide the winner in two 15-minute overtimes or, if necessary, from the penalty spot.
Abel Ferreira, coach of Palmeiras and before knowing that his opponent would be Chelsea, emphasized that they will give everything on the field to win the title and give joy to the Brazilian nation.
"A possible final against Chelsea will be a "David against Goliath" fight, but we will never give up without facing anyone. We still don't know who our opponent is, but we will be ready," he said at a press conference after beating Al Ahly.
Last year, Palmeiras put on one of their worst displays by not even reaching the final of the Club World Cup, but they got their revenge a year later and are now 90 minutes away from becoming world champions. It is worth noting that the "Verdao" has just defeated Al Ahly of Egypt 2-0 in the semifinals with goals by Raphael Veiga and Eduardo Pereira.
Although Chelsea qualified for this final after beating Al Hilal 1-0 with a goal by Romelu Lukaku, they left many doubts especially in the second half and in the defensive aspect, so if they repeat these mistakes they could pay dearly against the Conmebol champion; it is worth noting that Chelsea's only final under this format was played in 2012 against a Brazilian team and lost to Corinthians.
