Botafogo's win potentially changed our route to the Semifinals.

If Botafogo win or draw their last match against Atletico and we top our group, we will play Benfica/Boca in the next round and then the winner of Botafogo vs #2 in Group A (probably Inter Miami) in the Quarterfinals.

I think it's on Channel 5 as well.

Not on channel 5 unfortunately, however can be streamed on the channel 5 website. Our last game in the group is on channel 5, however.

Have a good one, hope its a good game UTC

Wow !

PSG the latest UEFA team to get a bloody nose. Well done Botafogo

Goes to show that you have to take ALL these games very seriously and go with your best starting XI.

Looks like we need to be the pride of Europe once again and be the first one to beat a Brazilian side.

Flamengo and their fans will be right up for this so should be interesting, hope Andre Santos gets a chance tonight to show what he’s about.

Game likely decides who wins the group. Think it will be mid 80s for the game, so that might slow the pace down a bit - even more than we typically do!

If pregame is anything to go by, Flamengo outnumbering Chelsea atleast 5 to 1, perhaps more. Chelsea might get a tougher game than they anticipate today

You rock, @PhilH930 ! Have a good time, keep us posted in the stadium vibe.

Going for a 1-1 draw, Delap with his maiden goal for us.

Sorry, WHO is on the wing?!

3 at the back maybe? Cucurella and Gusto wingbacks? If it's not, and Gusto is on the wing, then I think Maresca secrectly hates him.

Strang lineup, Gusto as wing

Trevoh Chalobah making his 100th appearance for Chelsea!

Weird, but I do hope we end up trying something new at CWC to see how it fares against teams playing for real and not just a pre-season game.

Gusto at RW should be way better than Gusto as RB in Maresca's system. Either get past his defender and put a cross or recycle the ball, less chances of f**king up at the back.

If ever a team selection shows how sh*t the coach is this is it, GUSTO on RW? Again no sign of Santos, this reeks of Clownlake wanting to sell him, F..King disgraceful

Gusto at RW is diabolical

Gusto on the wing actually makes sense. We only have 2 wingers in the squad. What's the point of running madueke and neto to the ground .

We also need to buy a capable left back because Cucurella isn't a machine

I really hope these f**kers don’t sell Santos because that will be beyond stupid

Looks like we are wearing the new white away kit.

Fotmob has it 4-2-3-1 with James holding. will Palmer remember how to play in the right.

He has Tyrique George though, and this is the perfect tournament to test his level. Starting a RB at RW instead of a RW is just diabolical.

Well we have Veiga who he opted to leave behind. Apparently we are interested in Hato from A**x. Can’t see it though; he sees Cucurella as a key player and won’t rotate him. Anyone coming here will have splinters sitting on the bench

That is interesting. Palmer's been better playing on the right I think.

Oh lord no, i got a Flemish commentator on DAZN. Not that I'm Belgist of course.
