ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003 with the aim of achieving world domination and this week, two matches stand between the Blues and realising that dream.
The Club World Cup might occupy a curious place in both the calendar and the public consciousness, but it remains the best arbiter in determining the greatest side on the planet. The champions of six continents, plus representatives from the host nation, battle it out to earn the moniker "world champions," a huge trophy and a $5million first prize.
It also remains the only trophy Abramovich has never won.
