As Chelsea faces off against Fluminense in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, the team's players have taken to their personal social media accounts to share links to ticket sales in an apparent attempt to fill the 82,500-seat MetLife Stadium near New York. The move comes as the team, managed by Enzo Maresca, has already banked over £61million in prize money for their work in the competition.
