🎥 Chelsea leave it late, Flamengo go top: last 16 are wild 🤯! Giroud out ❌
Esperance Tunis' dreams are extinguished, as they needed a miracle against Chelsea to reverse the fortunes of Group D. Instead, it was the stoppage time that condemned the North Africans. The Blues fly to the round of 16 with six points. On the other field, Flamengo maintains its unbeaten record in the tournament: it ends 1-1 against LAFC, with Giroud (eliminated). 🎯 Delap's first joy For 45 minutes, the match remains blocked, with few emotions. But when everything seems set for a 0-0 draw, Chelsea strikes with two quick blows: Enzo Fernandez shines with two perfect assists, first for Adarabioyo (45+3') and then for Delap (45+5'). At halftime, it's already 2-0, and for Esperance, the mountain becomes insurmountable. Kanzari tries to shuffle the cards in the second half, but Chelsea manages without worries and scores the third goal in stoppage time thanks to the young talent Tyrique George, born in 2006. 😅 Many applause for Adarabioyo The absolute protagonist is Tosin Adarabioyo, impeccable in defense and decisive in attack with the goal that opens the evening. Awarded as man of the match, he leaves his teammates incredulous: the only one to applaud him non-stop is Cole Palmer. Will he ever stop? ❌ Los Angeles FC is eliminated Meanwhile, on the other field, Los Angeles FC comes close to its first win in the Club World Cup but has to settle for a draw against Flamengo, which doesn't change anything. It ends 1-1, a result that allows the Brazilians to secure the top spot in the group and maintain their unbeaten record. Flamengo starts very strong, but is unlucky: in the first 12 minutes, it hits the post three times, the first with Danilo from two steps away, which Delgado responds to, and then twice with De Arrascaeta - one of these in the second half -. The goals arrive only in the final minutes: at 84', Bouanga takes advantage of Tillman's assist and puts LAFC ahead, but the joy is short-lived. Wallace, who had just entered, signs the 1-1 after less than two minutes with a personal action that restores balance. 👏 Flamengo "honors" Giroud Final whistle and curtain on Group D. Curiosity in the post-match: Giroud, who remained scoreless in the tournament, consoles himself with a long tribute from the Brazilian rivals on the sidelines. It's not every day you come across such opponents. 📊 Group D standings This concludes the group stage of Group D, and ironically, the one with the "worst" deal is Flamengo, the group leader: the Brazilians will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16, while Chelsea - second with six points - will face Benfica, which last night defeated the Bavarians.

Chelsea defender reveals he spent £5,000 on an Erling Haaland football card - despite coming up against the Man City star in the Premier League!
A Chelsea star has revealed he once spent £5,000 on a trading card of Erling Haaland. Haaland has been a revelation since joining the Premier League nearly three years ago, scoring 84 goals to date for Manchester City in the top flight and winning two Premier League titles. He has also won the Champions League, included in his Treble win in his first year at City, while taking home the Golden Boot in his first two years - though seemingly set to miss out this term. Every year, meanwhile, various card companies, including the likes of Topps, bring out trading cards featuring players from the likes of the Premier League and Europe, while other cards are also brought out regularly from the world of the likes of Formula One and Star Wars. Two particular Premier League stars - who feature on collectable cards themselves - have revealed they are keen collectors, and are willing to spend big on cards. And it's no difference when it comes to paying big for cards involving rivals for one Blues player - in the form of Tosin Adarabioyo. 'It can get expensive,' Adarabioyo said on the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand Presents. 'Five grand [£5,000] up on one card. It was a [Topps] Erling Haaland gold card. 'I used to collect back in the day when I was young and it was obviously the sticker albums for World Cups and Euros. Everyone loves that, it's got that nostalgic feeling. 'And then again post Covid I got into collecting again. Some of my friends told me to look into it so I looked and I just got that bug that you do with some things and I just really enjoyed collecting again.' Adarabioyo, alongside Spurs' Dominic Solanke, was speaking to Ferdinand at the opening of Fanatics Collectibles new flagship store on Regent Street, London. The store is now open to the public following a week of opening celebrations featuring Ferdinand, Adarabioyo and Solanke, while Lewis Hamilton and many more stars from the world of sport were also present. One of Hamilton's cards is worth £1.1million - one lucky bidder may pick it up soon, but that's a step too far for Adarabioyo, he admitted. 'I would never drop money like that on a card but honestly the value in some of these cards is insane,' he said. 'I love ripping boxes open and to know that there's a possibility that you could open a box and get a card worth £1.1m is insane. 'It's life-changing money and has amazing value and that's one of the amazing things about this hobby.'
