Analysis of qualifying for the Club World Cup, Bayern can choose Chelsea, South America s semi-finals may face off early

In the third round of the Club World Cup group stage, Paris Saint-Germain successfully advanced with an easy victory and advanced to the top 16 as the group leader. Although Atletico Madrid defeated his opponent 1-0, he scored 6 points in two games and still regretfully failed to qualify and failed to continue to advance in the Club World Cup this season. At the same time, Miami International lost the top spot in the group at the last moment. They were chased by Palmeiras for two consecutive goals, missing the first place in the group and must face Paris Saint-Germain, a strong enemy.

So far, the list of the top 16 has been basically determined, and 8 of them have been qualified for promotion. Except for host Miami International, the other seven teams are either from Europe or from South America. The two games in the round of 16 have also been confirmed, one of which will be a showdown between two South American giants Botafogo and Palmeiras, while the other is even more eye-catching - host Miami International will face Paris Saint-Germain, and Messi will meet his old club again.

Next, the last round of the Group C and Group D will be held on the same day, and the suspense of the game is still confusing.

In Group C, Bayern Munich has already advanced with 6 points and has become the top spot in the group. Auckland City from Oceania has missed the round of 16. They lost both games, with 0 points, and were eliminated early. The remaining competition is concentrated between Benfica and Boca youth, who will compete for another qualifying spot. In the final round, Benfica will play against Bayern, while Boca Youth will play against Auckland City. Apparently, Oakland City is the weakest of the 32 participating teams, and they conceded a total of 16 goals in the first two games. At this time, the Boca youth's hope of qualifying is that they can win a big victory in the showdown with Auckland City. If Bayern remains unbeaten and advances to the top, the Boca youth has the opportunity to decide whether they can advance through goal difference.

It is worth mentioning that Bayern actually has the possibility of choosing a knockout opponent. If their group top scorer advances, they will face Chelsea or Tunisia's hopes in the quarterfinals; if they are second in the group, they will face South American giant Flamenco in the quarterfinals, and if they fall to second in the group, Bayern may face the challenge of Paris Saint-Germain. At this time, if Benfica wants to ensure promotion, he must score at least 1 point, otherwise he is likely to be surpassed by the Boca youth due to his goal difference. The situation in

Group D is also tense. Flamengo has already advanced with 6 points to ensure the top spot in the group, and the top 16 will face off against the second team in Group C. Los Angeles FC was eliminated early and has no points yet. Chelsea and Tunisia hope both teams will have 3 points, ranking second and third in the group. Since Chelsea has a goal difference advantage in the match against Tunisia, they only need to draw to advance in the final round. Tunisia hopes must defeat Chelsea in order to retain its hope of advancement.

Tunisian Hope Captain Meria said in an interview with FIFA that the team and the fans are experiencing a dream come true, and he believes that the team can successfully defeat Chelsea and qualify for promotion.

From the perspective of strength, Chelsea has a greater chance of winning, but they also face two major challenges. First, although Chelsea has agreed to send the strongest lineup to participate, head coach Maresca may continue to choose a rotation lineup, which will have an impact on the overall stability of the team. What's even more difficult is the physical fitness problems of Chelsea players. Maresca once complained about the impact of the high temperature on the player's condition before the game. The reporter found that the temperature at Chelsea once soared to 42°C during training, and it is expected that the temperature will remain at 39°C during the game. Due to the impact of high temperatures, players like Reese James may not be able to play due to minor injuries, and the team will reduce training and try to minimize the impact of high temperature on physical fitness. FIFA has specially invited experts to all participating teams to ensure the health and safety of players.

As the group stage advances, the advanced teams in Group C and Group D will have a fierce showdown in the top 16. After Flamengo locked in the top spot in the group, if they had not faced Benfica, they would have probably staged another South American derby with the Boca youth. If Chelsea successfully advances, it may usher in a strong dialogue with Bayern Munich, adding a lot of highlights to the last 16th game of the Club World Cup.
