Despite failing to win the Premier League since 2017, Chelsea are one of 32 teams competing in FIFA’s revamped Club World Cup this summer.
The Blues qualified for the tournament by virtue of their 2020–21 Champions League success, as they defeated Manchester City in the final. Much has changed in west London since that memorable night in Porto when Roman Abramovich congratulated Thomas Tuchel at the Estádio do Dragão in the aftermath of their triumph.
