Brazilian side Fluminense went from relegation candidate to surprise Club World Cup semi-finalists and will now face Chelsea as they aim to write a fairytale in the United States. The club from Rio de Janeiro is the only non-European club to reach this stage of the revamped tournament.

Fluminense have wildly exceeded expectations in the United States this summer, and are now on the cusp of their second Club World Cup final. Only Chelsea, who boast an almost 10-times-greater annual wage bill than the Brazilians, stand in their way.

Former champions Chelsea play Fluminense, one of Brazil’s most popular sides, in the first semifinal of Club World Cup.
