🌍 Club World Cup: PSG’s possible last-16 opponents revealed | OneFootball

PSG finishes as the leader of its group!

After its victory against Seattle (2-0), Paris Saint-Germain is qualified for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. Two options are emerging for its future opponent: Palmeiras or Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. The capital club will face the second team in Group A thanks to the victory of Atlético de Madrid against Botafogo (1-0). Everything will be decided on the last day tonight at 3 am.

Palmeiras has the advantage

With four points and a better goal difference (+2 against +1), Palmeiras is the favorite. A simple draw against Miami will be enough for the Brazilians to finish at the top of the group. Even a narrow defeat (by one goal, with at least one goal scored) could be enough in certain cases.

Miami must strike hard

On the other hand, Inter Miami only has one clear scenario to avoid PSG: winning. A victory with a two-goal difference would ensure first place. A 1-0 victory could also be enough, but it will then depend on the tiebreak criteria: number of goals scored, or even fair play or cards in the event of a perfect tie.

At stake: a clash against Paris

The winner of Group A will face PSG in the round of 16. The suspense remains intact, the capital club could face the champions of South America... or Lionel Messi.

The verdict will be announced in a few hours. And it could smell like gunpowder...
