Despite scorching conditions in Philadelphia, the Premier League side locked up advancing to the knockout stage

Despite failing to win our group, Chelsea managed to end up with a more favorable draw, at least on paper, in the knockout rounds of the Club World Cup, having to play Benfica instead of Bayern Munich in the Round of 16. Of course, Benfica did beat Bayern in their group match, so perhaps the favor won’t prove so favorable in the end.

For a long while Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez struggled under the weight of his hefty price tag but as he prepares to face his former side Benfica on Saturday in the Club World Cup, he is finally showing why the Blues splashed out on him.
