Night highlights: Seattle-Atletico and PSG knocked out 🎥
During the night, two matches valid for Group B of the Club World Cup took place: first on the field were Seattle and Atletico Madrid, followed by PSG and Botafogo. Here's how the standings now look in their respective groups. 💥 Barrios scores twice, Atletico bounce back! After the heavy defeat in their opener against PSG, Atlético Madrid lift their heads. In Seattle, the Colchoneros beat the Sounders 3-1, a team that appeared clearly inferior. With this victory, Simeone's team stays in the running for the round of 16 and will play everything against Botafogo. The match immediately showed a clear technical and tactical gap. Atlético dominated thanks to an inspired Barrios and a Seattle side lacking reference points, especially in defense. Musovski was neutralized, while the Spaniards made good use of the wings and controlled the pace with authority. Advertisement In the second half, Witsel scored to make it 2-0 before Rusnak's temporary 1-2, but Barrios quickly restored the gap. Seattle tried to react, but without creating real danger. Now the Spaniards prepare for the direct clash with Botafogo, while the Sounders face the formidable PSG. 😱 PSG KO! Botafogo through to the round of 16 In the match between the European and South American champions, the upset comes from Botafogo. Surprisingly, the Brazilians beat PSG 1-0 thanks to a goal by Igor Jesus in the 36th minute. A victory without spectacle but built on organization, ruthlessness, and defensive spirit. Luis Enrique changed several players after the big win over Atletico, but the rotation didn't pay off. PSG kept possession, but struggled to be truly dangerous, with Kvaratskhelia isolated and Ramos absent. Botafogo, organized and aggressive, limited the opponent's playmakers and struck on the counterattack. Advertisement In the second half, the Spanish coach tried to fix things by bringing on the starters, but the play remained confused. The Brazilians held firm and managed their lead until the end. Now PSG will have to beat Seattle to avoid a sensational elimination in the group stage. 📊 GROUP B STANDINGS 1. Botafogo 6 points 2. PSG 3 points 3. Atletico 3 points 4. Seattle 0 points PSG goes through if they win against Seattle and Botafogo wins or draws against Atlético; Atlético wins by a maximum of 2 goals difference. PSG would only be eliminated if Atlético wins by 3+ goals and PSG wins by a small margin or draws. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Pablo Barrios Brace Leads Atletico Madrid Past Seattle 3-1
PABLO Barrios' brace lifted Atletico Madrid to a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Thursday, getting the Spanish side's Group B campaign back on track. Axel Witsel also scored as Atletico rebounded to victory at Seattle's home field after they began their FIFA Club World Cup campaign losing 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in Southern California. The result pulls the Rojiblancos even on points with PSG and Botafogo, who will meet in their second match later on Thursday. Albert Rusnak scored after halftime for Seattle, which fell to the brink of elimination despite playing a second consecutive game before its home supporters. The Sounders' knockout-phase hopes will officially be quashed if PSG wins or draws against Botafogo. The 22-year-old Barrios scored early in each half for the first brace of his senior club career. Barrios' first goal put Atletico in front in the 11th minute to cap a furious start for the Spanish club. Giuliano Simeone did much of the work, running onto a throughball into the right edge of the penalty area, cutting back to elude a defender and then dragging a low cross toward the penalty arc. Barrios met it in stride and hit a first-time, right-footed shot that rattled the underside of the crossbar on its way in. Barrios' second in the 55th minute was simpler, as he was permitted time and space to hit a half-volley past goalkeeper Stefan Frei after Seattle's failure to clear Marcos Llorente's long throw from the right. Before halftime, Atletico had an apparent chance to double their lead from the penalty spot taken away after referee Yael Falcon Perez reversed his initial decision after a video review. The sides then traded goals in the first five minutes of the second half. In the 47th, Witsel headed home from inside the 6-yard box in the resulting scramble after Frei pushed Llorente's initial half-volley onto the crossbar. In the 50th, Rusnak scored from a similar range on a deflected shot after Atletico's failure to deal with Seattle's initial ball into the box.
