After Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) in the first game of the FIFA Club World Cup's group stage, manager Enzo Maresca didn’t talk first about goals or tactics; he talked about the crowd. Or more accurately, the lack of one.

Chelsea will face LAFC in this 2025 FIFA Club World Cup matchup on Monday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Chelsea and LAFC will take the pitch on Monday, June 16th, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in this FIFA Club World Cup match.
