🤨 PSG could face every Brazilian side at the Club World Cup, find out how | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain will arrive at the Club World Cup on a high, after winning the treble: the French Championship, the French Cup, and the long-awaited Champions League—with a resounding 5-0 victory in the final against Inter.

And the presence of Luis Enrique's PSG, champions of everything, in the tournament doesn't only affect Botafogo, with whom they share Group B in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense could also cross paths with the new European champions at different stages of the tournament in the United States.

Botafogo: showdown set for the group stage

As Libertadores champions, Botafogo are in Group B, alongside PSG, Atlético de Madrid, and Seattle Sounders (USA).

The highly anticipated clash between the South American and European champions will take place in the 2nd round, at 10 p.m. (Brasília time), on June 19, at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.

If both advance, there is a possibility of a rematch in the Club World Cup final, scheduled for July 13 in New Jersey.

Palmeiras: chance in the round of 16

In Group A, Palmeiras will face Porto, Inter Miami, and Al Ahly (Egypt).

The knockout stage bracket stipulates that the 1st place team in Group A faces the 2nd place team in Group B, and vice versa.

Thus, Palmeiras could face PSG as early as the round of 16, depending on both teams' standings.

If they finish in the same positions (both first or both second), they can only meet in the final, since they would be on opposite sides of the bracket.

Flamengo: chance in the quarterfinals

Flamengo, who are in Group D with Chelsea, Espérance (Tunisia), and LAFC, who eliminated América-MEX in the play-in, could meet PSG in the quarterfinals if both advance in first or second place in their respective groups.

Of course, they must first win their round of 16 matches.

If the two clubs qualify in opposite positions (one in 1st and the other in 2nd), a potential meeting would only be possible in the final.

Fluminense: a more 'distant' path

Fluminense is in Group F, alongside Borussia Dortmund, Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), and Ulsan HD (South Korea).

Because they are in a distant bracket in the knockout stage, Fluminense could only face PSG starting from the semifinals, if both advance in identical positions (i.e., 1st vs 1st or 2nd vs 2nd).

If they qualify in different positions, Flu and PSG would only meet in a potential final, provided they win all their matches up to that point.
