Chelsea's six opponents for next year's Club World Cup have been confirmed after Palmeiras defeated Flamengo 2-1 on Saturday night.
The competition, which is due to take place early in 2022, is comprised of the six winners of each confederation’s continental cup, and the UAE league champions, with the draw set to take place on Monday night.
The Blues will be joined by the aforementioned Palmeiras, Monterrey, Auckland City, Al Jazira Club, AL Hilal and Al Ahly as they bid to win the competition for the first time having lost the final to Corinthians back in 2012 - the last time the UEFA Champions League victor didn't win the competition.
Chelsea will enter at the semi-final stage and can't face the Brazilian outfit, with any of the other five teams potential opponents for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Club legend John Terry will help to conduct the draw, which is due to take place in Zurich and Blues supporters have made it no secret that they expect to win the prestigious tournament.
Fans took to social media to voice their opinions on the west Londoners' potential opponents, admitting that a repeat of 2012 cannot be on the cards. Here is what a select few on Twitter said.
