First World Cup Final !

Chelsea, the reigning European champions, eased to a 3-1 victory over Mexican power Monterrey on Thursday in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals in Japan (via FIFA.com). Juan Mata, Fernando Torres and a Darvin Chavez own goal gave the Blues a 3-0 lead within 48 minutes, and Jesus de Nigris pulled one back for Monterrey in the final minute.
With the victory, Chelsea advanced to Sunday's final to play Corinthians of Brazil. With another victory, the Blues would earn the club's first FIFA Club World Cup title.
Chelsea won comfortably on Thursday and showed further signs of turning around a recent slump that saw former manager Roberto Di Matteo sacked and the Blues deposed from the top of the Premier League. That being said, new manager Rafa Benitez still has yet to win over the fans, as Goal.com's Liam Twomey reports:

Even six thousand miles from Stamford Bridge, Rafa Benitez could not escape the boos, nor the pointed chants of 'There’s only one Di Matteo’. Yet in spite of it all there were signs of progress, and the possibility that in this chapter of remarkable success in the Chelsea story, there may be another page of success to write on Sunday.

Success on Sunday would not be unexpected, nor would it rank among the most prestigious titles in the club's history. Yet it would represent progress for Benitez and could signal a return to contention for Chelsea after a rough stretch both domestically and in Europe.
