Make a strong effort! Seven European giants are about to form a South American champion, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Dortmund become key

In the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, half of the teams have been announced. The two matches have been confirmed, with Chelsea fighting Palmeiras respectively, while Estewan is waiting for the result of another game. Paris Saint-Germain will have a strong dialogue with Bayern Munich, and we look forward to these confrontations becoming more intense. Next, the five European giants will make their debut one after another, competing for the remaining four quarter-finals, which will allow seven European teams to jointly put pressure on the South American champion in the quarter-finals.

Historical data shows that in previous Club World Cups, European teams have always had an absolute advantage, so in this Club World Cup, the performance of non-European teams naturally attracted much attention. Among the 16 teams that participated, European teams occupy 9 seats, while South America has 4 places, and Central and North America and Asia have a total of 3 teams. Despite this, European teams do not have obvious disadvantages overall.

However, the knockout round is the beginning of the real competition between each team, and European teams are gradually showing their strength! In the first round of knockout matches, except for the two South American teams, the other three were won by European teams. Chelsea defeated Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Miami International, and Bayern Munich defeated Flamenco, which significantly improved the number of European teams.

specifically mentioned Bayern Munich. They scored 12 goals in the group stage, second only to Manchester City, and scored 4 more goals in the first round of the knockout round, showing an outstanding competitive state. The new European champion Paris Saint-Germain should not be underestimated, defeating Atletico Madrid 5-0 and then defeating Miami International 4-0. Although Messi's performance against the old star is mediocre, it is still exciting. When Paris and Bayern meet in the quarterfinals, they will surely create sparks, and may also affect the ownership of the Golden Boot.

Many fans may feel that the European giants' goal in the group stage is more to ensure promotion, and not to do their best, and the real competition is in the knockout stage. According to the performance in the group stage, many top European giants are extremely strong after all. As long as they are a little serious, the exciting and famous scenes will not be absent.

There are four important confrontations next. The confrontation between Real Madrid and Juventus will be an important battle between European giants. The other three European powerhouses will also launch challenges alone, with opponents spread across three continents, including Inter Milan against Fruminense, Manchester City faces Riyadh Crescent, and Dortmund faces Monterrey. Obviously, the three European teams are seen as the side with more hope of advancement.

The victory or defeat of Inter Milan, Manchester City and Dortmund will become the key. If they can advance smoothly, then seven European teams will appear in the quarterfinals, launching a siege against South American champion Palmeiras four years ago.
