Chelsea and Flamengo get set for a match of unbeaten teams on Friday afternoon, as the group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Both clubs got started off on the right foot in the tournament. Chelsea took on Major League Soccer powerhouse Los Angeles FC on Monday, pulling out a 2-0 win in Atlanta. Flamengo

Nicolas Jackson saw red as Chelsea suffered a 3-1 defeat against Flamengo in the Club World Cup. It was a disappointing afternoon in Philadelphia for Chelsea, who saw Jackson shown a straight red card just four minutes after coming on as a substitute, despite taking the lead in the 13th minute through Pedro Neto.

Chelsea would have become the first team in the competition to reach the knockout stages if they had won against the side managed by ex-Blues full-back Felipe Luis. Instead, they now need at least a draw from their final game against ES Tunis on Wednesday morning and no longer have it in their hands to finish top of the group.
