Ramires looking forward to Corinthians in Club World Cup

Ramires looking forward to Corinthians

Chelsea midfielder Ramires is hoping that Chelsea meet Brazilian side Corinthians in the final of the Club World Cup later in the year.

Corinthians beat Argentinian side Boca Juniors in the final of the Copa Libertadores to qualify for the tournament in Brazil, which Chelsea will play in after winning the Champions League.

Ramires hopes that if Corinthians and Chelsea do meet, it will be in the final.

"No teams have a guaranteed place in the final, but if that happens, it will be a great game," he told Globo Esporte.

"Many of my friends and relatives support Corinthians, and I hope they don't have doubts about who they will support, or we will have problems."

Ramires won Chelsea's Players' Player of the Year Award last season.
