With the defeat against Benfica, FC Bayern gambled the group victory in the club World Cup. Now an undefeated team is waiting in the round of 16.
A draw would have been enough to win the group. But FC Bayern lost its third and last preliminary round game at the club World Cup. Despite many opportunities in the second round, the German record champion against Benfica had to give up 0: 1. Joshua Kimmich struggled with the performance of the team: “The game has to go out at least. It was the clear goal of becoming group.
Completing Group C to second place has consequences for the further course of the tournament for FC Bayern. Instead of on Saturday in Charlotte, the Munich team will play in Miami on Sunday (from 10 p.m. in the live ticker at T-Online). The opponent is flamengo. The Brazilians from Rio de Janeiro won the group D in front of FC Chelsea, Espérance Tunis and Los Angeles FC, scored a total of seven points.
A heavy opponent. Chelsea’s coach Enzo Maresca, who lost 1: 3 with his team in the group phase against Flamengo, said before the direct duel: “Flamengo plays attractive football and it is a pleasure to see them. They are a very good team with great players. Your coach was a great player herself and made a lot of games in Europe. I know that he is so well organized and why flaming is so well organized As long as it was unbeaten in Brazil. “
The coach of the current league leader is Filipe Luís. The 39-year-old once stood on the pitch for Atlético Madrid and Chelsea FC, but returned to Brazil at the end of his career.
At Flamengo he initially played a few professional games before he became a youth coach and then took over the professional team in September 2024.
Now he hits FC Bayern with this, not an easy task. But Filipe Luís believes in his team, said before the tournament in conversation with the FIFA media service: “I never try to formulate a clear goal that goes beyond victory in the next game. But I believe that with the squad we have, as far as possible in the tournament.”
