(ANSA) – ABU DHABI, 08 FEB – Palmeiras is the first finalist of the Club World Cup, which is taking place in Abu Dhabi. The Brazilian team defeated the Egyptians 2-0 of Al Ahly and are now awaiting the result of tomorrow’s match between Chelsea and the Saudis of Al-Hilal to meet their opponent in the final scheduled for next Saturday.
The winners of the Libertadores Cup took the lead in the 39th minute with Raphael Veiga, on an assist from Dudu, who doubled in the fourth minute of the second half at the invitation of Veiga himself.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing their semifinal without the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, who remained in London because he was positive for Covid. “His absence represents a great challenge for us – said one of the German coach’s deputies, Zsolt Low -. We film the training sessions and send them to him and talk to him all the time.
We try to behave as if he were with us here. “Chelsea are the last European team to have lost the final of the tournament, when they were beaten by Corinthians in 2012. Since then the trophy has always gone to the winners of the Champions League. (ANSA ).
