Club World Cup Tour | Group B: The new Champions League king is in the position of "Death Group"

On June 15, the reformed and upgraded FIFA Club World Cup will officially kick off. 32 club teams from different leagues around the world representing the top strength levels of various continents will compete in the United States for a total of US$1 billion in event prize money and the highest honor of "the world's strongest football club". Among them, which teams are well-known to fans around the world, and which are the "mysterious teachers" that have entered your vision for the first time? Let's get to know these teams together.

Group B uses "death group" to describe Group B, which may not be the most accurate, because the Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain and La Liga strong team Atletico Madrid will not encounter much resistance during the qualifying process of this group. But if Bottafogo can grab points against the European two, it may also disrupt the situation.

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain (France):

The new UEFA Champions League champion dominates Europe with a high-pressure system of 433, and its total net worth of 924 million euros is also ranked among the top three of all participating teams. Dembele (32 goals in the season), Balkora and Kvaratskhlia formed the top striker in the team, with an average ball possession rate of 62%. Head coach Enrique emphasized high-pressure and wing blasting, Vitinia's long pass dispatch is the core of the offensive, and Ashraf and Mendes' two wings fly together, both of which are capable of helping the team make extremely efficient offensive and defensive conversions. In this Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly the number one favorite team to win the championship.

Atletic Madrid (Spain):

Simone's Iron Blooded Division adopts a 442 dynamic defense system, which can switch to 352 formations. In this Club World Cup, Atletico Madrid brought all the main players who can participate. Among them, Alvarez (29 goals and 7 assists) and Griezmann have extremely efficient forward combinations and are also one of the highly anticipated forward combinations of this event. Overall, Atletico Madrid's set-piece scoring rate is good, but compared to top teams, the team lacks creativity in the midfield and relies more on the personal performance of stars.

Atletico Madrid

Botafogo (Brazil): After winning the first South American Liberators Cup in team history in 2024, Botafogo's combat power has reached a new level. The 4231 formation created by new coach Pavva emphasizes the efficiency of full-back participation in offense and midfield conversion. This team from Brazil has the creativity of the midfielder. Although forward Jessus' performance is trustworthy, the team's overall offensive ability is still slightly insufficient. On the contrary, the extremely resilient defense allows the team to create miracles in many games.

Seattle Gulf Man (US):

The biggest advantage of the American League team is home games. The team's double stars Dan Morris and Rordan are their biggest reliance on the offensive end. The former scored double-digit goals for two consecutive seasons and played briefly in the Qatar World Cup, while the latter played four times in the North American Cup and has played for the Seattle Gulf Man for more than 10 years. However, the overall strength of the team is average, and it may be difficult to compete with the high-intensity pressure of European giants
