Baffled fans call Chelsea ‘small club' after admin's bizarre post following Club World Cup win
The Blues lifted the Club World Cup on Sunday after smashing Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.
After the win, Flamengo, who brutally trolled Chelsea after they beat them 3-1 earlier in the Club World Cup, put up a message to congratulate their rivals on a well-earned victory.
The Brazilian club's post read: "Congratulations, Chelsea, deserved Champions."
However, Chelsea's social media admin had not forgotten the savage dig the South American side had aimed at them just weeks before.
At the time Flamengo had said: "Easy win against London Blue!"
This is a reference to the Stamford Bridge outfit's name on the Pro Evolution Soccer video games series, which did not have the licence to name Premier League teams under Japanese publisher, Konami.
And after seeing Flamengo call them by their proper name, they could not resist a sarcastic dig back at them.
Trevoh Chalobah was loving the response, and said: "COOKED," with an added crying emoji.
Some fans weren't impressed with the move, with one fan saying: "Small club. Can't even take a compliment."
A second said: "Tbf. They just wished you congratulations."
Others were loving the s***housery on display.
One fan said: "i love this admin so much."
A second said: "Cook admin! Cook."
Another said: "My club."
A fourth added: "I love you."

Ian Wright names England's key mistake in first half of Women's Euro 2025 final against Spain
Ian Wright criticised Lauren Hemp 's decision making after the winger missed a golden chance to give England the lead in the first half of their Euro 2025 final with Spain. Hemp found herself with the first clear sight of goal for either side after good work by Lauren James helped hurry Spanish goalkeeper Catalina Coll and turnover possession in the box. The 24-year-old Manchester City forward steadied herself before firing a low shot from a tight angle which Coll saved well with her left foot, when James had been waiting alongside Hemp with a far clearer sight of goal. And the miss proved costly, as Spain took the lead soon afterwards when Mariona Caldentey headed home in the 25th minute. Ona Batlle whipped in a cross from the right, after good work by Aitana Bonmati, and Caldentey steered it powerfully past a stranded Hannah Hampton in the England goal. Wright said it was a huge moment in the half. 'I think she has to pass that,' said Wright. 'If she does, [James] gets a tap-in. An unbelievable chance ... she has to cut that back to Lauren James.' Wright said England were 'off it' in the first period and lacked sharpness to match Spain.
