In a few days, Paris Saint-Germain will play its first match of the Club World Cup against Atlético de Madrid. The European champions will then challenge Botafogo and Seattle. Cited as one of the favorites of the competition, will the Ile-de-France winning a new major trophy? Invited to give his favorites to the final victory, Luis Enrique relies on European training.
“A priori, I would say that European clubs leave favorites. If the best South American players played in their continent, it would be different. Same for African and Asian teams. But European teams are advantaged, because in addition to having the best European footballers, they also recruit the best players from other continents. It therefore does not seem indecent to say that European clubs are more likely to win. That said, football is a sport that does not always know justice and logic, and everything can happen on such a short competition. From the knockout stages, everything is played on a match, so there can be surprises, even if I think European clubs will be more likely to go to the end. It may not please other teams, but that's my opinion “he said on the official FIFA website.
