Guys, the South American teams are giving a great lesson to the Europeans, I wonder what Mbappé thinks now when he said that it was more difficult to play in Europe, now Flamengo beat a Chelsea that has very good stars, and not by 1 goal or 2, with 3, for me a rout, you can't say that the Europeans are tired, the South Americans are in the same conditions, could it be that the climate is affecting the Europeans? Interesting.
Honestly, I wouldn’t blame the result on climate or even fatigue alone. Chelsea just looked sloppy from the start. They lost the ball twice near their own box within the first 10 minutes — that already set the tone. Jackson's red card didn’t help either — reckless challenge, no real intent on the ball. With him out, it’s likely Delap takes over as the main striker, and he’s shown decent form in this tournament. But credit to Flamengo — they played smarter, sharper, and absolutely deserved the 3-1 win. Chelsea looked lost.
