Paris is head-on with Atletico Madrid in the first round, Manchester City and Juventus are the death group, the loser may face Real Madrid

The first Club World Cup has begun, and the first day is the Group A game, with host Miami International tied with Cairo Nationals. Soon, it was the turn of Group B's team to debut, a group that fans hailed as the "death group". In fact, whether in terms of strength or schedule, Manchester City and Juventus are more difficult, and the losers may encounter the powerful Real Madrid.

According to the competition system, there is no qualifier in the Club World Cup, and champions from various continents around the world are automatically shortlisted, plus the teams with higher rankings. Three of the four teams in Group B are intercontinental champions. Although Paris Saint-Germain was not shortlisted as the champion, they are all new European and South American champions, including a strong European powerhouse, so they are regarded as the "death group".

However, in terms of strength, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid are the top two teams in the group. Paris Saint-Germain just "destroyed" the four Premier League powerhouses in the Champions League, and defeated Inter Milan in the five-goal final, which surprised the outside world. The coach Enrique, who led the team to the "triple crown" for the second time, said with great enthusiasm that Paris will still win the Champions League championship in the next few years.

Due to restrictions on the participation of a country by up to two teams, Atletico Madrid eventually beats the La Liga giants Barcelona and is really not easy to qualify for the Club World Cup. In the first round, Paris and Atletico Madrid meet, which will surely become the closest showdown since the start of the game.

Half a year ago, after Botafogo won the South American championship, he immediately participated in the InterContinental Cup. What was disappointing was that Botafogo lost to Pachuca from Mexico and was eliminated in the first round, and even the shadow of Real Madrid could not be seen. The same is true for the Seattle Bayer, who lost to Cairo Nationals as soon as they appeared in the same competition two years ago and could not meet Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Therefore, the two American champions in Group B are actually not very strong, and Paris and Atletico Madrid have a very high chance of advancing to the top 16. Don’t forget that Alvarez also has the halo of championship, and such a competition must not be missed.

In contrast, Group G should be the real "death group".

G Group includes European champion Manchester City, African champion Casablanca, and Asian champion Ain. The three teams all participate in the competition as champions, plus European powerhouse Juventus. Judging from the team composition, it is similar to the situation in Group B. Perhaps it is easier for Manchester City and Juventus to get the top two in the group than Paris and Atletico Madrid, but the situation after the promotion is very different.

According to the schedule, the second place in Group G will face the first place in Group H in the round of 16. In Group H, Real Madrid stands out. If there is no accident, the first place cannot be eliminated. In other words, the "losers" of Manchester City and Juventus will meet Real Madrid in the round of 16 if they have the chance. Even if Manchester City and Real Madrid meet, this is a "replica" of the Champions League a few months ago.

It is worth mentioning that among the top scorers in the Club World Cup, Mbappe, Haaland, Kane and Dembele rank among the top. On the one hand, there are some relatively weak teams in the group where these players are located. On the other hand, the team they are in is also a favorite for the championship. If you go further, you will naturally have a better chance of getting more goals.

Since players such as Yamal and Rafinia cannot participate in the Club World Cup, the Golden Ball Awards will be announced in more than a month, and the Club World Cup will become the last major competition. Anyone who performs better can increase his chances of winning. It should be noted that the number one favorite Dembele is injured in the European League's game against Spain, and it still needs to be observed whether he can return in time.
