Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic has been labelled as a future Croatia captain by Luka Modric, as the Blues prepare for their Club World Cup final.
Romelu Lukaku's first-half tap-in was enough to give Thomas Tuchel's side a 1-0 win against Al Hilal in the semi-final, and they will now be eyeing another trophy.
Chelsea have never won the Club World Cup, losing in the final in their only previous appearance ten years ago, and Palmeiras are the only side stood in their way now.
