Chelsea defeated Palmeiras 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. Estewan and Cucurella had several minor frictions in the game, and both sides responded to this matter in an interview.

Estewan said: "We had a few frictions during the game, but that was part of the game. Let these frictions stay on the court, and hopefully at Chelsea Cucurelia can help me."

Cucurelia said: "This is football, he did his best to do his job, and I'm also doing my best to do my own job."
