Final Day Drama: Group B Set for Thrilling Climax at Club World Cup 2025

The final matchday of Group B at the 2025 FIFA Club World up promises high stakes action as Atletico Madrid face Botafogo & Paris Saint Germain take on Seattle Sounders both games kicking off Monday at 7 PM (GMT).

Standings Before Kickoff

• 1st: Botafogo - 6 points
• 2nd: PSG - 3 points (superior H2H vs Atletico)
• 3rd: Atletico Madrid - 3 points
• 4th: Seattle Sounders - 0 points

Only 2 will advance to the Round of 16 and every goal could be decisive.

Atletico vs Botafogo: A Must Win Mission

The Spanish giants must win by 3 goal or more against group leaders Botafogo at the Rose Bowl to overturn their goal difference deficit and qualify assuming PSG beat Seattle.

After heavy 4 - 0 defeat to PSG, Atletico bounced back by beating Seattle 3 - 1 in Matchday 2. But Botafogo shocked the group with 1 - 0 win over PSG complicating all projections.

A draw or narrow defeat will be enough for Botafogo to secure spot in the knockout round. However three goal loss, coupled with PSG win, would eliminate them.

PSG: Win & You’re In

Following their stumble against Botafogo, PSG know win over Seattle guarantees qualification. A draw could also suffice provided Atletico don’t win their match.

Meanwhile Seattle Sounders are clinging to faint mathematical hope: They must beat PSG, hope Botafogo beat Atletico and win by large margin to top potential 3 way tie on 3 point.

Seattle’s Struggles

Seattle have lost their last four matches including 3 straight home games , negative streak not seen since 2011. They’ll need miracle to survive.

All eyes are on Monday night where Group B will deliver high drama and only 2 will make it out alive.
