This could be a poster of the Champions League but Benfica and Chelsea cross the iron in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup at the Bank of America Stadium (a meeting to follow live commented on foot transfer window from 10 p.m.). The Portuguese succeeded in a small feat by finishing first in their group since it was made up of Bayern. As for the blues, their defeat against Flamengo cost them first place.
Bruno Lage slept a 4-2-3-1 almost identical to the training that beat FC Hollywood. Trubin keeps the cages by being protected by Silva and Otamendi. Florentino replaces Sanches in the double pivot with Barreiro. Kokcu will be the master to play this team and he is back in Pavlidis to make the powder speak. Same device with Enzo Maresca. Benoît Badiashile holds a central defense alongside Colwill. It is the only French in the starting eleven. Delap holds the attack front and will be assisted by Enzo and Neto on the wings.
Official compositions:
Benfica : Trubin – Aursnes, Otamendi, Silva, Dahl – Florentino, Barreiro – Mary, Kokcu, Schjelderup – Pavlid
Chelsea : Sanchez – James, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella – Lavia, Caicedo – Neto, Palmer, Enzo – Delap
