Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is confident summer signing Estevao will develop into a key man for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 winners.

Chelsea will donate a portion of their Club World Cup winnings to the family of late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who both tragically died in a car accident last month.

Rather than take a well-earned vacation to Las Vegas or an exotic Pacific destination, the Chelsea midfielder opted to visit the tiny Caribbean nation of St Kitts and Nevis, where his grandfather Sterry Palmer was born.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca insisted winning the Club World Cup meant as much as winning the Champions League after his side beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final of the first edition of FIFA's new competition on Sunday.

The US president was front and center as the winners took to the stage, grinning broadly in his red tie and clapping and jumping with the players as the jubilant Blues lifted the gleaming trophy, which he had presented to captain Reece James.

The incident erupted when PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was arguing with Joao Pedro, before Luis Enrique appeared to raise his hands to the Brazilian's face.

“If he’s not the best now, he’s going to be in the next two to three years."

The match, starting at 1:00 am (Monday, Bangladesh Time), will not be televised but will be live-streamed for free on DAZN.

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto penned an emotional tribute to his late Portugal teammate Diogo Jota ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup final against PSG, stating that he wants to win the title in Jota’s memory.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez said the scorching heat at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States left him feeling dizzy and described the high temperatures as "dangerous" to play in.

Chelsea FC’s promising squad has continued to mature right before everyone’s eyes while reaching the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final, where the Blues will face mighty Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium in New York on Sunday.

Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, described the expanded summer competition as "the worst idea ever invented" in an interview.

Luis Enrique previously told reporters that he believed Dembele is deserving of the Ballon d'Or, and on Wednesday said there was no doubt that the Frenchman had once again shown himself worthy of soccer's top individual honour.

Fabian Ruiz scored twice as European champions Paris Saint-Germain turned on the style in their reunion with Kylian Mbappe on Wednesday, thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup to set up a final showdown with Chelsea.

Thiago Silva has won over 30 titles in his magnificent career, including the UEFA Champions League and FIFA Intercontinental Cup, yet he ranks reaching the semi-finals here up there with his biggest achievements.

“I apologise for the two goals. This is my job. I’m sad to see some of the players I played alongside, some of the staff I know upset. Seeing their sadness is difficult, because I know this was their dream."

"Playing against Real Madrid is always a special game," PSG's Spanish coach told reporters.

New signing Joao Pedro scored twice on his first start as Chelsea eased to a 2-0 win over Fluminense on Tuesday to seal a spot in the final of the Club World Cup.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca shrugged off concerns about playing in hot and humid mid-afternoon conditions in Tuesday's Club World Cup semi-final against Brazilian side Fluminense, for which the Blues will be without both Liam Delap and Levi Colwill.

"He's a legend of football, a top player," Marc Cucurella, a teammate of Silva's for two years.
