The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semifinals begin Tuesday, with one of the favorites facing an impressive upstart as Chelsea takes on Brazilian side Fluminense at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Chelsea has seen a lot of what the Brazilian top flight has to offer already at this Club World Cup. One of the group stage’s major upsets saw Flamengo claim a 3-1 win over the Blues in Group D, leaving Chelsea in second place. Since then, Chelsea has been grinding it out, needing extra time to dispatch Benfica and a late own goal to knock off Palmeiras, another of Brazil’s four representatives in the tournament.
Fluminense had a quieter path through the group stage, with a win over Ulsan HD and two scoreless draws enough to seal second place in Group F. It’s in the knockout stage where they’ve made their big splash, shocking Inter Milan 2-0 in the round of 16 before ending Al-Hilal’s run with a 2-1 win in the quarterfinal round.
