Chelsea are aiming to start their 2025 Club World Campaign with back-to-back victories when they face Flamengo in their second group stage fixture.
The Blues were 2–0 victors over LAFC in their opening encounter as Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández fired them to victory in front of a sparse crowd in Atlanta. They will feel they already have one foot in the last 16 given the calibre of their Group D opposition but Enzo Maresca will warn against complacency.
Chelsea are keen to take their stellar 2024–25 end-of-season form deep into the Club World Cup but the recent Conference League winners face a tough opponent in Brazilian behemoths Flamengo.
Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís currently manages Flamengo and the 39-year-old has impressed at the helm. He guided the 2022 Copa Libertadores winners to a routine 2–0 victory over Espérance de Tunis on Matchday 1, with goals in either half securing an important victory for the Brazilians as they chase progression to the knockout phase.
Here is guide to an intriguing clash in Philadelphia.
