Bayern Munich vs Flamengo live: Latest team news as Europe and South America clash at Club World Cup – UK Times

Flamengo XI: Rossi; Wesley, Ortiz, Pereira, Sandro; Erick, Jorginho, De Arrascaeta; Araujo, Gerson, Plata.

Bayern XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Upamecano, Stanisic, Tah; Laimer, Goretzka; Coman, Olise, Gnabry; Kane.

Flamengo have already been in the headlines during this inaugural Club World Cup, and it came as they delivered one of the shocks of the tournament so far.

Their clash with Premier League giants Chelsea was flipped on its head in the space of six minutes as they soared to a 3-1 win.

Bayern Munich appeared to stamp their mark as a team that will take no prisoners in this inaugural Club World Cup when they hit double digits in a 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City. However, the Bavarians have slightly faltered since that ruthless opener.

They stumbled to a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors, requiring a late winner from Michael Olise to get them over the line against the Argentinians, before losing 1-0 to Benfica in their final group game to forfeit top spot.

Is the heat getting to them?

Flamengo are among just a handful of teams still in contention that are flying the flag for non-European football in the Club World Cup.

The Brazilian giants are yet to be defeated in the competition, beating ES Tunis 2-0 before a six-minute Chelsea capitulation saw Flamengo stun the Blues in a 3-1 victory.

With a place in the knockouts already locked up, they drew with LAFC 1-1 to top the group – something that may prove their downfall having ended up with a harder opponent in the last 16.

While Flamengo will have to battle past German titans Bayern Munich to keep their Club World Cup hopes alive, Group D runners-up Chelsea got to play Benfica, who they dispatched 4-1 last night.

Flamengo vs Bayern Munich is due to kick off at 9pm BST on Sunday 29 June at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.

After a surprise slip-up against Benfica, Bayern Munich will hope to get back on track and book their spot in the Club World Cup quarter-finals.

Flamengo are the Bundesliga winners’ opponents in the round of 16 with the pair contesting a place in the last eight.

Bayern’s defeat in their last outing came after strong performances against Auckland City and Boca Juniors, but they will be wary of the threat posed by their Brazilian opponents.

A second half surge in a 3-1 win over Chelsea showed the qualities that Flamengo possess as they look to deepen their run at the tournament.
