Former Chelsea stopper Petr Cech has urged the Blues to take their Club World Cup final with Palmeiras seriously.

He said: “Petr spoke a bit in training.

“He doesn’t have many regrets in his career but one of them was not doing this to fullest and winning this competition when he had the chance.

“It only came around once in his career.

“It may only come around once in my career so as a group we know how serious we’re taking this and how important it is to give it everything in these two games to win a major competition that not many win.

“We’re focused on that and that’s definitely a message that has hit hard the last couple of days.

“You don’t get this opportunity very often and we have to take it.”
