Bayern Munich and Flamengo meet for a place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals in a clash between two of Europe and South America’s best.
Brazilian giants Flamengo, the Copa Libertadores champions in 2021, have already claimed one scalp this tournament by beating Chelsea in the group stages.
They were rather unlucky to draw five-time European champions Bayern Munich, who finished runners-up in their pool after falling to a defeat against Benfica in their final group game.
A place in the quarter-finals, and against either Paris Saint-Germain or Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, awaits the winners of this knockout stage match in Miami.

How Flamengo reached the knockouts
Flamengo are among just a handful of teams still in contention that are flying the flag for non-European football in the Club World Cup.
The Brazilian giants are yet to be defeated in the competition, beating ES Tunis 2-0 before a six-minute Chelsea capitulation saw Flamengo stun the Blues in a 3-1 victory.
With a place in the knockouts already locked up, they drew with LAFC 1-1 to top the group – something that may prove their downfall having ended up with a harder opponent in the last 16.
While Flamengo will have to battle past German titans Bayern Munich to keep their Club World Cup hopes alive, Group D runners-up Chelsea got to play Benfica, who they dispatched 4-1 last night.
When is Flamengo vs Bayern Munich?
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich is due to kick off at 9pm BST on Sunday 29 June at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Good evening
After a surprise slip-up against Benfica, Bayern Munich will hope to get back on track and book their spot in the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Flamengo are the Bundesliga winners’ opponents in the round of 16 with the pair contesting a place in the last eight.
Bayern’s defeat in their last outing came after strong performances against Auckland City and Boca Juniors, but they will be wary of the threat posed by their Brazilian opponents.
A second half surge in a 3-1 win over Chelsea showed the qualities that Flamengo possess as they look to deepen their run at the tournament.
