FIFA Club World Cup results, highlights, and lessons learned: The meeting headlines for Chelsea and LAFC The activity on Monday

Chelsea, one of the favorites to win the Club World Cup, will play Los Angeles FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday to begin Group D action. The Black and Gold will feel ready for the task at hand even if they had to defeat Club Leon in a playoff match against Club America to qualify for the competition. Before Flamengo ends the evening against ES Tunis in Philadelphia, Boca Juniors and Befica will also play a match between two iconic clubs. One of the up-and-coming managers in world football, Filipe Luis, was connected to the Brazil position, but coaching Flamengo in the CWC will be difficult, particularly with a matchup with his old team, Chelsea, approaching.

Bayern Munich's ten goals against amateur team Auckland City FC will set a high standard for Monday's action, but with evenly matched teams facing off, anyone can predict what will happen. LAFC will try to avoid being the third MLS team to lose in the competition, but Chelsea has a difficult challenge ahead of them.
