Atlético Madrid to face PSG, Botafogo and Seattle Sounders in FIFA Club World Cup
Atlético Madrid already knows its rivals for the FIFA Club World Cup. They will be in Group B along with PSG, Botafogo and Seattle Sounders. The format will be the same as the FIFA World Cup, with 32 teams divided into eight groups of four that will face each other only once.
The top two teams from each group will advance to the round of 16. In the first round, Atlético will face PSG, a team they beat in Champions a few weeks ago. In the second round, they will face Botafogo, champions of the Copa Libertadores.
Finally, they will close the group stage with the match against Seattle Sounders from the United States. Maxi Rodríguez has said that ‘I see them well, I think they will have a lot of desire in this competition’.
