Released first from his group after his victory against Seattle on Monday, PSG knows what to expect to go to the final of the Club World Cup.
PSG provided the essentials on Monday against Seattle. Four days after his surprise defeat against Botafogo, on the second day, the capital's club validated its qualification for the knockout stages of the Club World Cup thanks to its victory over the Sounders (2-0).
And if the Parisians were not irresistible, they even finished this group phase in first place in their group, well helped by the victory torn in the last minutes by Atletico Madrid against Botafogo. For this purpose, PSG can thank well … Antoine Griezmann, the only scorer of the meeting.
With this first place, PSG will face group A at Atlanta in Atlanta in the round of 16. A second which is none other than the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi. Consequence of his draw conceded against Palmeiras. While they seemed to go to a victory, the Floridians, despite two goals in ahead ten minutes from the end, were joined at the very end of the match, and Lionel Messi left for reunion with the capital's club.
Messi in eighths, Mbappé in half?
In the event of a victory against the franchise of David Beckham, another former former in Paris, the PSG will then face in the quarter -final the winner of the duel between Flamengo, guaranteed to finish first in group D, and the second in group C. A place for the time occupied by Benfica, but the Lisbon club faces Bayern Munich and remains at the mercy of Boca Juniors, who faces the Cancres d'Auckland.
As for the semi-final, which he will play in New York, PSG could have other tasty reunions. Whether with Inter, if he remains second in his group, or Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé, if the Merengue retain their first place.
