The club World Cup group stages have all ended, ushering in a short rest time of the day. The competition for the top 16 of the knockout round will begin on the weekend. This year's Club World Cup has not shown a one-sided situation and has not yet become the "Champions League". 12 European teams participated in the competition and 3 teams were eliminated, with a promotion rate of only 75%, which is not too high compared to the monopoly champions over the past decade.
In fact, this is also in line with the original intention of expanding the Club World Cup. If only European champions participate in the competition, the winning rate will definitely be very high, but if it increases to 12 European teams, suspense will follow. Porto failed in one of three games, and the group fell behind four times in the last round and tied four times, barely avoiding the group's bottom. After losing to the host, he directly "escorted" Miami International to the top 16.
The main reason for the elimination of Atletico Madrid and Salzburg is that there is a top European giant in the same group. Atletico Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain and Salzburg lost to Real Madrid, which is a key factor in stopping the group stage. At the same time, Paris "gives" Bottafogo 3 points, Real Madrid "gives" Riyadh 1 point in the new moon, causing Atletico Madrid and Salzburg to miss the knockout round.
In addition to this, the other nine European teams have always firmly grasped the initiative to qualify and successfully advanced to demonstrate their strong overall strength. In contrast, the South American teams, except for Flamenco, who locked in the top spot in the group early, the promotion process of the other teams was somewhat bumpy.
6 teams participated in the competition, 4 Brazilian teams shortlisted as South American champions all advanced, and 2 Argentine teams shortlisted by points were all eliminated. It can only be said that at the club level, Brazil still completely suppressed Argentina. It is quite difficult for the other clubs in South American countries to enter the top stage.
Europe and South America, 18 teams participated in the competition, and won 13 qualifying places, the other 3 quotas, 2 belonged to Central and North America and 1 belonged to Asia. Riyadh Victory has two European teams in the same group, including the powerful Real Madrid, but it was lost in all three games. It drew with Real Madrid and Salzburg in the first two games, and defeated Pachuca in the last round. It relied on its strength to advance, reflecting the style of Asia. Only Ain won an insignificant game for the other three Asian teams, losing 8 games in total.
Miami International's promotion, Messi's goal was very critical. A beautiful free kick not only ensured his victory over rival Porto, the same group, but also laid the foundation for promotion. Mexico's Monterrey draws against Inter Milan and River Plate, and veteran Ramos scored the only goal in two games, making a great contribution.
It can be seen that the reasons for Atletico Madrid, Porto and Salzburg were eliminated and Riyadh won the promotion were the same. As long as you can win the game you should win, you will not lose the game you should not win, so you can qualify from the group. Otherwise, you can only say goodbye to the Club World Cup in advance.
In addition to Africa and Oceania, the Club World Cup can still blossom everywhere, and weak teams have the opportunity to break through. From this perspective, FIFA has been successful in changing the competition system, which can at least increase the attractiveness of each continent and has not become a one-man show for European giants. The top 16 will be held soon. Judging from the distribution of European teams, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Benfica and Chelsea in the first half, and Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus and Dortmund in the second half. It seems that the second half of the zone is more famous. Messi meets Paris again. Real Madrid and Dortmund have the opportunity to gather in the quarterfinals to stage the Bellingham brothers derby. It is even said that Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan may reenact the "replica" of the Champions League final in the Club World Cup final.
Of course, being famous does not mean you will definitely win. This is a competition held in the summer after a long season. The players are physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, the weather in the United States is very hot. The further you go, the more you will affect your preparations for the new season. Judging from the intensity of the game, the Club World Cup is not as intense as the Champions League, and many players have not tried their best, and it is more like participating in an exhibition match with generous bonuses.
