'I want to win it for Diogo Jota'

- Published
Pedro Neto has dedicated his involvement in the upcoming Club World Cup final to Diogo Jota - his former team-mate who died in a car crash last week.
The 25-year-old winger played with Jota at Wolves before he joined Liverpool and with Portugal.
Neto paid tribute to Jota before the quarter-final win over Palmeiras and again referenced him after Chelsea beat Fluminense 2-0 at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday to reach Sunday's final against either Real Madrid or Paris St-Germain.
"It's been really difficult in the past few days and I just want to leave a message that this final is for him and his brother," Neto said. "It's a really tough time for me, difficult to speak about it and let's hope I can do it for him.
"But I want to dedicate this final to him and his family and show my support in these difficult times for them."
The conversation naturally moved to Chelsea's achievement in reaching the final of a lucrative and newly expanded Club World Cup, with Neto their top scorer on three goals.
He added: "The results speak for themselves and show how hard we've been working. We've been doing good things and we've improved a lot. We all think there is more to come from this team.
"We hope to finish in the best way. It would be unbelievable, a dream come true and I'm really, really looking forward to playing this final and hopefully winning it on Sunday."
