Cole Palmer helped Chelsea get the best of Palmeiras at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Friday, July 4 to advance to the semifinals. Malo Gusto also played a role in the victory, having his shot bounce off the opposing goalkeeper, Weverton Pereira da Silva, to create an own goal situation and take the 2-1 lead.

Tickets for the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the other semifinal are still commanding an enormous fee. As of Sunday afternoon, the cheapest available tickets are $195.15 (£142.91), but it’s possible that prices drop before the match kicks off on July 9.

Among the stars competing in the FIFA Club World Cup are Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (Argentina), Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (England) and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, all of whom are expected to star for their countries at the 2026 World Cup.
