Chelsea and Los Angeles FC Open Group D of the 2025 Club World Cup with a fierce duel

The 2025 Club World Cup officially began with one of the most anticipated matches in Group D, which brought together Chelsea, representatives of Europe, with Los Angeles FC, a hero from Major League Soccer.

This duel is scheduled to take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, United States, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 at 02.00 West Indonesia time.

Chelsea came with the status of the UEFA Conference League championship as well as the top four Premier League, which ensured their tickets to the Champions League next season. Under the command of the new coach, Enzo Marsca, the London team tried to build a new foundation by combining young experience and blood.

On the other hand, Los Angeles FC appeared as the US Open Cup champion and was in a solid performance with a record of ten games without defeat. For LAFC, this is a historic debut in the Club World Cup and at the same time a big challenge to face the European giants.

Chelsea rely on regeneration, LAFC confidently face challenges

Enzo Marsca chose a rotation strategy by not including some senior players in the Squad to the United States.

Names like Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, until goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic was left in London. This rotation is a strong signal that Marsa wants to give a stage to young players.

Liam Delap, who is now trusted to wear the back number 9, has the potential to go down as a starter. Dario Essugo’s new recruitment from Sporting Lisbon was also brought, along with other young players such as Mike Penders in the position of goalkeeper and Mamadou Sarr in the back line.

Cole Palmer is now officially owner of number 10, while Andrey Santos returns after undergoing a loan period. The only player who was absent was Wesley Fofana because of a hamstring injury.

Marsa’s decision shows the long -term project that is being built: a young team, dynamic, and full of potential for the future of Chelsea.

LAFC Squad: A combination of experience and young energy

In the Los Angeles FC camp, coach Steven Cherundolo still maintains the 4-3-3 game scheme which is a mainstay.

Hugo Lloris is believed to be the main doorstop under the bar. Meanwhile, Olivier Giroud became one of the big names ready to appear in an emotional match against his former club, Chelsea.

On the front lines, young striker Nathan Ordaz began to show his potential by scoring three goals in MLS this season.

However, the main focus was on Denis Bouanga who performed sharply with eight goals in 15 matches. The combination of young players and veterans’ experiences makes LAFC an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
