The Blues cruised to a 3-1 victory, setting up a final with Corinthians, yet another Club World Cup final between the European and South American champions.<\/p>\n<p>But while Europe have dominated Club World Cup since 2007, Chelsea were the blot on the record, losing 1-0 to Corinthians via a 69th-minute goal from Paolo Guerrero.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years on, the Blues are back, looking to complete their trophy haul under Roman Abramovich with what is the missing piece of major silverware. The likes of Thiago Silva, N&#8217;Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Reece James will all be led by Thomas Tuchel in search of the gold in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>But what of Chelsea&#8217;s 23-man squad involved in the 2012 Club World Cup final? Can you name the 11 starters and 12 substitutes from that 1-0 defeat to Corinthians &#8211; including one player injured but still listed on the bench?
