Overview
The match between Flamengo and Bayern Munich is one of the most notable confrontations of the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
Flamengo surprised in Group D when they beat Chelsea to take the lead. They beat the Blues 3-1 in the second game despite falling behind. That victory, along with another victory over Esperance Sportive de Tunis and a 1-1 draw with LAFC, helped the Brazilian team enter the round of 16 with a series of 11 unbeaten matches in all competitions (8 wins, 3 draws).
In that unbeaten streak, they have only conceded 5 goals. And in the 3 matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage, they only had to receive 7 shots on target, at least among the teams in Group D.
Meanwhile, Bayern entered this match after a 0-1 defeat in the group stage break against Benfica, despite having secured a ticket to the round of 16.
However, that defeat ended their 100% record at the FIFA Club World Cup (including previous tournaments). The good news for Bayern fans is that they rarely lose 2 consecutive matches. And that has not happened to them since coach Vincent Kompany took charge in May 2024.
Bayern Munich have also rarely failed to score in consecutive matches. The Bundesliga champions have only failed to score in two consecutive games in the last 10 years, against Bayer Leverkusen and Lazio in February 2024.
Michael Olise will be the hope of the "Gray Tigers" in this year's tournament. He was not only Bayern's top scorer (3 goals, along with Jamal Musiala), but also the top assist driver (2 assists, along with Kingsley Coman) throughout the group stage.
In particular, Olise leads the team in wins in doubles matches (17), shots (8) and shots on target (5).
Harry Kane will also look to add to his scoring record in the tournament. The England striker opened the scoring in the 2-1 win over Boca Juniors.
The England captain has scored 83 goals in 94 appearances for Bayern since moving from Tottenham in the summer of 2023. That's 18 more goals than any other Bundesliga player in that time.
