Match that stopped Brazil: Flamengo lead Club World Cup ratings | OneFootball

Flamengo's Elimination Occurred in the Round of 16, and Subsequently, No Brazilian Team Drew as Many Viewers

The Club World Cup ended two months ago, but only this Tuesday (09) did FIFA release the preliminary audience numbers for the tournament. According to the entity's report, the match between Flamengo and Bayern Munich (GER) was the most watched in Brazil.

This is because the game that marked Flamengo's farewell from the competition against Bayern recorded an impressive 37.3 million viewers. Interestingly, the match took place in the round of 16, while other Brazilian teams advanced in the tournament after the red-black team's elimination.

No Flamengo, No Audience?

Thus, the fact suggests that the national audience decreased with the departure of the "Mais Querido". Moreover, the high number recorded in the match against the Germans may indicate the presence of many rivals as viewers.

Even the match played only between Brazilian teams, Palmeiras and Botafogo, did not reach the numbers of Flamengo and Bayern, ranking third. However, the second position is occupied by the game between the São Paulo team and Inter Miami (USA), Lionel Messi's team.

Overall?

In total, FIFA estimates that 2.7 billion fans followed the tournament across various media, including all types of broadcasts. In Brazil alone, for example, the number of viewers exceeded 131 million.

What Happened in Flamengo vs. Bayern?

Flamengo lost to Bayern Munich, but the German team had to work hard to advance. The opponent opened 2-0 in just nine minutes. Shortly after, the red-black team reduced the gap with a stunning goal by Gerson. Before halftime, Goretzka made it 3-1. Jorginho, from a penalty, reduced the score again, while Harry Kane gave the final numbers to the match: 4-2.

Who Became Champion?

The first edition of the Club World Cup ended with Chelsea (ENG) winning the title, who before reaching the final was only defeated by Flamengo 3-1. In the final, the English team defeated PSG (FRA) 3-0, demonstrating the difficulty of the red-black team's achievement.
