Palmeiras vs Chelsea – Can the Brazilians Finally Get Revenge?
Palmeiras vs Chelsea. The 2025 Club World Cup quarterfinal in Philadelphia as Palmeiras takes on Chelsea. It’s a rematch of the 2021 final, and both teams have a score to settle. Will Palmeiras get their revenge? Or will Chelsea prove dominant once more?
Form Guide
Palmeiras are showing plenty of grit in this tournament. After a tense 1-0 extra-time win over Botafogo in the Round of 16, they remain unbeaten (W2, D2) and have conceded just two goals across four games. Their backline has been rock solid, but their slow starts are a concern, with no first-half goals yet in this tournament.
Chelsea, meanwhile, cruised past Benfica 4-1 in extra time. That’s six wins in their last seven, with four of those by two goals or more. The one slip-up? A 1-3 loss to Flamengo in the group stage, another Brazilian team. That could mess with their mindset going into this match.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea: Head-to-Head Statistics
They have met only once in a competitive match ever, but it was a meaningful competitive match. Chelsea won the 2021 Club World Cup Final against Palmeiras 2-1 after extra time. A tight matchup, a late goal. Since then, they’ve met in some non-league international friendlies during summer exhibition play, nothing you can really judge from.
