Flamengo and Bayern Munich are set to face off in a pivotal Round of 16 matchup at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The Brazilian giants aim to recreate their stunning upset over Chelsea, while the Bundesliga powerhouse looks to assert dominance over another South American opponent for a spot in the final eight.

Flamengo’s journey so far has been eye-opening. The Rio-based club topped Group D with a shock 3–1 victory over Chelsea, marking the first time a Brazilian team has defeated a European side in the tournament. Under head coach Filipe Luís, Flamengo will now look to carry that momentum into their clash with Bayern.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a record-setting 10–0 demolition of Auckland City FC but stumbled in Group C, which was unexpectedly won by Benfica—who have since been eliminated. Now in the knockout stage, the German champions must find the right balance to avoid a similar fate to Chelsea against a disciplined Flamengo squad.

Beyond this round, both teams have one eye on what lies ahead. The winner of this fixture will meet reigning UEFA Champions League titleholder Paris Saint-Germain, who cruised to a 4–0 victory over Inter Miami. With a formidable path to the final, both Flamengo and Bayern know what’s at stake.
