Flamengo's performance against Chelsea went beyond the US and was widely reported in the international media . The comeback they built in the second half, with authority and efficiency, caught the attention of newspapers in England, Spain, Italy and Argentina. In addition to the excellent football they played, the media highlighted the way Chelsea collapsed in a matter of minutes.
After opening the scoring with Pedro Neto, the Blues saw Flamengo grow, equalize, come back and even score the third, all with a dominant stance. Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson was the main target of criticism in the European press. The Senegalese player came on in the second half, but shortly after was sent off with a straight red card, after a rough tackle.
The attitude hampered any attempt by the London team to react, as they were already behind on the scoreboard. The expulsion happened just as Flamengo had just turned the match around, leaving Chelsea completely disorganized. The impact of the defeat was highlighted in harsh headlines from major English sports outlets. The Daily Mail highlighted:
"Blues collapse in disastrous second half as Nicolas Jackson is shown a straight red for a horrific challenge - and Brazil's giants punish Maresca's sloppy men."
Sky Sports didn't mince words:
"Blues implode at Club World Cup as Nicolas Jackson receives straight red in defeat."
After the game, Filipe Luís spoke about the impact of the victory, stating that defeating a team of Chelsea's stature, in an international competition, “was perhaps the greatest achievement” since arriving at Flamengo as a coach after coming up from the youth divisions.
With this result, Flamengo secured their place in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup and remains one of the favorites to win the title. The victory over Chelsea not only secured their spot, but also projected the Red-Blacks as the tournament's protagonists. The solid performance, with players such as Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique and Gerson on the rise, gave the squad confidence and helped the team regain international respect.

Ticket sales began on a staggered basis last Sunday (28), with priority check-in for members of the Tô na Fonte category. Even after the general opening, members can still guarantee a place in the stadium .

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.

In the goalless draw between Flamengo and Cruzeiro , last Thursday (02), striker Gabigol experienced a special reunion with the red-black fans at Maracanã . Even with few minutes on the field, the former Fla player relived memorable moments of his time at the club.
Before the ball rolled, Gabigol greeted players and members of the Rio de Janeiro team. Among the photos, a hug with Filipe Luís, Flamengo 's current coach and former locker roommate, stood out. The number 9 also posed smiling alongside Arrascaeta and hugged old friends like Rodrigo Caio and Léo Pereira.
During the game, when visiting his former teammates on the bench, the striker even reproduced the famous “ fusion ” celebration, which marked the successful partnership with Bruno Henrique in Flamengo's golden days.
Gabigol only entered the field in the 42nd minute of the second half, right after William was sent off for Cruzeiro. After the final whistle, he made a point of praising the result on social media: " +1 point, thank you blue nation for the support! Now we'll see you at home ."
After the draw with Cruzeiro, with Gabigo, Flamengo does not have much time to rest . On Sunday (05), the team faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere.
