A FIFA Club World Cup knockout-stage thriller pits Brazil’s Palmeiras against Chelsea in a clash of contrasting styles. Palmeiras, led by teenage sensation Estevão and veteran playmaker Raphael Veiga, rely on their high-press aggression and set-piece prowess. Chelsea, boasting Enzo Fernández’s midfield mastery and Liam Delap’s clinical finishing, counter with possession-heavy tactics. Both teams enter unbeaten in the tournament, but only one can advance—expect tactical fireworks under the North Carolina lights as South American grit meets European precision.
