Chelsea player shines in Club World Cup match and earns MOTM award with some good stats | OneFootball

One Chelsea player has shined in his first Club World Cup game over night and even earned the Man of the Match award.

Blues boss Enzo Maresca has already given his thoughts about new signings Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, and Mamadou Sarr who all join his squad out in America for the Club World Cup this summer.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea add two NEW strikers to their shortlist as well as Hugo Ekitike!

And it looks like Chelsea are still trying to add another new defender to the ranks as well, with an apparent offer being rejected for a Serie A star this week and other such links that have come up in recent weeks.

There will be plenty more incomings and outgoings at Chelsea during the long summer transfer window that will reopen tomorrow morning on the day Chelsea play their first Club World Cup game of the tournament that kicked off in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Chelsea kick off tonight

The Club World Cup 2025 started over the weekend and there has been some fantastic games and plenty of goals scored already.

Chelsea start their campaign tonight at 8pm UK time against Los Angeles FC over in the USA and then a busy month of games ahead.

Estevao Willian is obviously a Chelsea player now but he doesn’t officially join until after the Club World Cup. Until then, he is still featuring for his Brazilian side Palmeiras, and he played last night in their 0-0 draw against Porto.

The pending Blues player got given Man of the Match by DAZN, and he also had some pretty good stats in the game:

65 minutes played 1 shot on target 1 shot off target 1 shot blocked 1 big chance created 30 touches 13/18 passes completed
