I hated the whole “who smelt it dealt it in school”
like what cause I could smell the atomic bomb you’ve let of means that I’VE DONE IT???

FT: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Chelsea 3-0 PSG 🇫🇷

CHELSEA ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! Well, who saw this one coming?! A masterful performance by Enzo Maresca's side, spearheaded by their talisman Cole Palmer. Two near-identical strikes gave Chelsea a well-deserved lead, before an inch-perfect assist allowed Joao Pedro to dink a lovely finish past Donnarumma, putting the game to bed. A day to remember for Chelsea fans!

Chelsea are into the final! A performance to remember from new man Joao Pedro, with two wonderful strikes against his former team! Cutting in from the left for both goals, Pedro showed exactly why Chelsea have splashed £60m on him, and the Blues will play for big silverware again on Sunday!

FT: 🇩🇪 Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Monterrey 🇲🇽

Dortmund battle through! Rayados gave it everything, and were probably the better team tonight. However, Serhou Guirassy proved his worth to Dortmund once again, with a well-taken brace enough to send his team through to a blockbuster clash with Real Madrid! 🍿

FT: 🇪🇸 Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus 🇮🇹

Real improve again under Alonso! Real Madrid seem to be getting better game-by-game under Xabi Alonso, putting on a dominant display against a stubborn, yet slightly toothless, Juve side.
