Hard but sweet.
Chelsea qualified tonight (Wednesday) for the final of the World Club Championship after a narrow 0: 1 over El Hilal from a single goal by Romulo Lukaku in the 32nd minute.
The Blues did not play a good and sweeping game in Abu Dhabi, but the Belgian striker was there to give his team the coveted ticket that will leave them one game away from a first-round title this season.
The one who will meet Chelsea in the final is the Brazilian Palmeiras, who last night defeated Al Ahali 0: 2 with goals from Rafael Viega (39) and his uncle (49).

The last time Chelsea were in this position, it happened in 2012, and even then they met a Brazilian opponent in the final - Corinthians - but they won 0: 1.
The Blues will now have a chance to mend.
In another match that took place today, Monterey defeated Al Jazeera 1: 3 and finished in fifth place.
