Bayern Munich will compete for their place in the quarterfinal of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday when they face Flamengo in the last 16.
The Bundesliga champions kicked off their campaign with an astonishing 10–0 victory over Auckland City and proceeded to secure their place in the knockout phase by beating Boca Juniors on Matchday 2. That allowed Vincent Kompany to rotate his starting lineup against Benfica, which explains their underwhelming 1–0 defeat to the Portuguese side.
Bayern finished behind the Lisbon outfit in Group C but cared little as they avoided a last 16 duel with Chelsea as a result. Still, Flamengo will prove an almighty challenge for the Bavarians.
The Brazilians beat Chelsea themselves during the group stage, coming from behind in an impressive 3–1 victory. Having already beaten Espérance de Tunis in their opener, they were able to take their foot off the gas for their final outing against Los Angeles FC, which they ended up drawing 1–1.
The winner of Sunday’s meeting will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Inter Miami CF in the last eight.
Here is guide to this last 16 clash at the Club World Cup.
