‘World class cooking’ – Flamengo brutally troll Chelsea with throwback video game reference after Club World Cup win
@Source: thesun.ie
FLAMENGO couldn't resist a cheeky throwback dig at Chelsea after the Blues' Club World Cup collapse.
The Brazilian side recorded a 3-1 comeback victory in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon.
In-form Pedro Neto gave Chelsea the ideal start in the Group D clash, firing them ahead in the 13th minute.
But Enzo Maresca's side melted in the Philly heat after the break.
They conceded two quickfire goals to go behind, before Nicolas Jackson saw red for a horror lunge.
Wallace Yan secured the three points for the Brazilians with just seven minutes left on the clock.

And after the final whistle, Flamengo's X account decided to go for the jugular.
The club's official account wrote: "Easy win against London Blue!"
London Blue refers to Chelsea's infamous name in the Pro Evolution Soccer video game series.
Japanese publisher Konami were unable to secure the license for Premier League teams, resulting in alternative names for the clubs and players in the popular game.

One fan laughed in response: "World class cooking honestly."
Another said: "London Blue!!!!! LMAO."
While a third chuckled: "Oi they're calling them by their PES identity."
And a fourth added: "Redefined the overrated league in the world."
Maresca refused to defend Jackson after his reckless moment of madness on Friday.
The 24-year-old was sent off on his birthday - just FOUR minutes after entering the field as a sub.
Maresca told DAZN: "It was a red card. So nothing to say.
“Congratulations to them, they deserved to win.
"We tried to do something different, also for next season, for the future, but congratulations to them.
"I think they deserved it."
