Roll up, roll up to the greatest show on earth! As Chelsea’s bemused players strolled out one by one onto the pitch at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they were met with an unfamiliar sight: row upon row of empty red seats.

Chelsea's win over LAFC took place in a 70,000-capacity NFL stadium that attracted an attendance of just 22,137.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said the atmosphere at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was "a bit strange" as his side began their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in front of swathes of empty seats.
