In a sadly empty Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Chelsea and Los Angeles did not offer us the best of shows. Little speed, efficiency, no major actions … The club World Cup starts well in the United States. In front of the Blues, a goalkeeper who passed by Ligue 1 failed to prevent his own defeat on the score of two goals to zero.
Indeed, despite some stops, Hugo Lloris could not do more than his possible against Chelsea, which he faced for the 24ᵉ times in career according to Stats Foot. The club becomes the most recurring opponent in the course of the former Niçois, passing in front of Manchester City and Arsenal, and the second most prolific stable in front of the goalkeeper.
Another striking fact, the 2018 world champion unfortunately participated in the defeat of Lafc and therefore in the victory of Chelsea, also to remember.
A successful season
After Stats Footthe English team has made its most successful 2024-2025 exercise since 2016 with 62.1 % of positive results in official competition. A very beautiful ratio which illustrates well the rise of the club in recent months, notably rewarded by a title in the Europa Conference League.
Tonight's victory allows Chelsea to make good beginnings in this club World Cup, despite a big lack of realism in front of the cages.
Chelsea (24 games) becomes the club that at most faced Hugo Lloris during his professional career in front of Manchester City and Arsenal (23 each). #CDMdesclubs

To summarize
Chelsea beat Lafc 2-0 in a Mercedes-Benz stadium empty. Hugo Lloris, helpless, faced the blues for the 24ᵉ times, a personal record. Despite an impactful match, Chelsea begins the Club World Cup well and confirms its good 2024-2025 season.
