Preamble

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to another day at this somewhat dystopian tournament, one of empty seats, unbearable heat and Donald Trump acting like Donald Trump. So as we approach the end of the universe, here’s Flamengo versus Chelsea!

The 2022 Copa Libertadores champions meet the 2021 Champions League winners, both sides triumphing 2-0 in their opening contests. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández were the goalscorers for Chelsea against Los Angeles FC though it was Liam Delap’s assist that made the headline – he make his first start for the club today. Kick-off’s at 7pm BST, 2pm EDT. It’s absolutely roasting in Philadelphia.
