Home » Palmeiras vs Chelsea – 2025 Club World Cup Quarterfinal in Philly
Palmeiras vs Chelsea. This one’s got some history. Palmeiras and Chelsea face off again in the Club World Cup — and yeah, that 2021 final still stings for a lot of fans. Chelsea took that one 2-1 in extra time. Now, Palmeiras want to flip the script. Can they finally get their revenge, or does Chelsea have their number again?
Palmeiras have been grinding their way through the tournament. They just got past Botafogo 1-0 in extra time, and they’re still unbeaten — two wins, two draws. They’ve been rock solid at the back, only letting in two goals in four games. But here’s the thing — they haven’t scored a single first-half goal the entire tournament. That kind of slow start could really hurt against a team like Chelsea.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are flying right now. They crushed Benfica 4-1 in extra time, and they’ve now won six of their last seven. Four of those wins were by at least two goals. The only hiccup? A 3-1 loss to Flamengo. Another Brazilian team — and you can bet that’s on their minds.
