🌎 Club World Cup Group D: Can Chelsea's young squad survive a tough test?
In the latest look at the groups competing at this summer's Club World Cup in the USA, it is now time to cast our eyes over Group D. You can sign up to DAZN to watch every FIFA Club World Cup game for free. Who is in Group D? Flamengo Espérance de Tunis Chelsea Los Angeles FC The favourites Chelsea will be the heavy favourites to triumph, but don't expect an easy ride from the rest of Group D. With an estimated 50 million fans, Flamengo are one of the best-supported clubs in the world and will bring a huge following, whilse Espérance are a giant of African football, qualifying for the CAF Champions League on 14 consecutive occasions. It's going to be a fascinating watch. What's the key game? Philadelphia will play host to a mouth-watering game on June 20 as Flamengo take on Chelsea at Lincoln Financial Field. The Rio giants will no doubt fancy their chances against a Blues outfit that have been peaking at the right time this season but still don't look 100% convincing under Enzo Maresca. Can you give me a player to watch for each team? Cole Palmer (Chelsea) If Chelsea are to perform as they expect at the Club World Cup, then Cole Palmer will need to be on top form. Without him, the Blues attack simply doesn't function with the England international the fulcrum around which all their play in the final third rotates. Advertisement Pedro (Flamengo) Pedro stands out as one of Flamengo's most reliable goalscorers. His impressive record includes being the top scorer in the 2022 Copa Libertadores, where he also earned the Best of the Tournament award. A finisher extraordinaire who loves popping up with a vital strike in the biggest of games. Yassine Meriah (Espérance de Tunis) 📸 FETHI BELAID - AFP or licensors Standing at 1.88m tall, Yassine Meriah brings a commanding presence to the Espérance backline. Combining physical strength with tactical awareness, his leadership qualities and extensive experience, including 85 caps for the Tunisia national team, have made him an indispensable figure for the African outfit. Advertisement Olivier Giroud (LAFC) Arguably the most recognisable name in the LAFC side is World Cup winner and former Arsenal, Chelsea and Milan striking star Olivier Giroud. He had a slow start to his spell in California but even at 38, remains a lethal presence in front of goal and will relish coming up against his former club. And the big storyline? Can Chelsea's young squad survive in one of the tougher groups at this summer's inaugural tournament? After a long Premier League season in which the Conference League winners had to fight right until the final game, facing giants from South America and Africa could potentially prove too much.

Botafogo muffle Sounders to claim opening win
Brazilian champions Botafogo began their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup journey with a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Sunday evening at Lumen Field. Goals from Jair Filho and striker Igor Jesus did the damage for Botafogo, as the Brazilians netted two first-half goals after lapses in concentration from their MLS opponents. The Sounders mounted a spirited comeback after the break and reduced the deficit from Cristian Roldan - but the Brazilians held on to secure victory. Advertisement "First half was okay, but the second half we didn't cope with the intensity of the opponent," said Botafogo manager Renato Paiva afterwards in an interview with DAZN. "It was not a very good game for us, but the first game in these competitions is always difficult because of the anxiety and all of that. Three points, we won… It's most important." Botofogo's breakthrough came in the 28th minute after left-back Nouhou Tolo gave away a reckless free kick. Former Manchester United full-back Alex Telles delivered a pinpoint ball into the danger area and 20-year-old Filho met it with a thunderous finish to put his side ahead. Just before the interval, Brazil international Jesus doubled the lead. The 24-year-old forward powered in a second header, though Sounders keeper Stefan Frei was left rooted to the spot, seemingly misjudging a shot that looked within reach. Advertisement Seattle, outplayed in the first half, returned from the break with renewed energy and dominated large spells of the second period. But the two-goal deficit proved too much to claw back. Midfielder Cristian Roldan, a member of the USMNT's 2022 World Cup squad, gave the home crowd hope in the 76th minute by pulling one back. However, despite sustained pressure and a series of late chances, the Sounders couldn't find an equaliser.

Chelsea 'here to win' at Club World Cup
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says his team are "here to win" ahead of their first match at the Club World Cup. The Blues take on Los Angeles FC in Atlanta on Monday, and are one of two Premier League teams taking part in the tournament alongside Manchester City. Advertisement Speaking to the club website, Maresca said: "When you are the Chelsea head coach or if you are a Chelsea player, you must always try to win. It doesn't matter if it's the Club World Cup or another competition – that is what is expected. "At this moment [in the year], the players are normally away enjoying their holiday and recovering energy. That is not the case because we are here to try to win. We can rest after the Club World Cup. "I feel proud [to lead Chelsea into the Club World Cup]. It is the first and everything is new for us. So we must adapt as quickly as possible to make sure we are ready." After their match against LAFC, Chelsea will take on Brazillian side Flamengo before rounding off their group stage against Tunisian champions ES Tunis.
