The 3️⃣ key players for Atleti against Seattle Sounders
Pablo Barrios has scored the first 'brace' of his professional career in a key match in the FIFA Club World Cup. Register on DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Atlético de Madrid defeated Seattle Sounders 3-1 at Lumen Field in a match corresponding to the second day of Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup, achieving a vital victory to stay alive in the competition. On OneFootball, we tell you who the three protagonists of the game were... Pablo Barrios, absolute star There is no doubt that the 'Atleti' youth player is always a threat when he steps into the opponent's area, but for the first time in his professional career, he has been able to score two goals in a single match. Both goals were of high quality, with brilliant finishes: a shot from the edge of the box that hit the crossbar before going in and then scored with a subtle touch to the far post. A player to dominate matches. What about Sørloth? The Norwegian forward is not having a good time in the United States. After missing a golden opportunity against PSG, he squandered a couple of very clear chances against Seattle Sounders. Although Diego Simeone's team managed to defeat Seattle Sounders, they missed several chances, and the ones Sørloth had were unbelievable misses. Axel Witsel made his mark The Belgian player had been on the pitch for just a minute and a half (having come on for José María Giménez) when he scored a goal in what was his first action of the match. The experienced Belgian footballer capitalized on a rebound after a shot from Marcos Llorente to score the temporary 2-0. A key goal because Seattle Sounders had come out with a lot of momentum in the second half. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Palmeiras fans cheer during the FIFA Club World Cup Group A soccer match between Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras and Al Ahly FC at Metlife Stadium. Jonathan Moscrop/CSM via ZUMA Press Wire/dpa Bad weather forced a stoppage in play in a Club World Cup match between Brazilian side Palmeiras and Egyptian champions Al Ahly on Thursday, in the second game to be interrupted in two days. The threat of a serious storm forced English referee Anthony Taylor to send the two teams to the stands, with Palmerias leading 2-0. Advertisement Fans were also told to shelter indoors as the game was interrupted for 50 minutes, but the storm ended up passing the MetLife Stadium by and the game ended with the same scoreline. The New Jersey stadium is set to host the final of the FIFA World Cup next year. On Wednesday, the match between RB Salzburg and Mexican side Pachuca was paused for 99 minutes due to poor weather. The Austrian team ended up 2-1 winners.

Pep Guardiola hints at new Manchester City role for Phil Foden in 2025/26 season
Phil Foden could be set to take on a new role in Manchester City's system, as hinted by head coach Pep Guardiola this week. The England international returned to action for the new 2025/26 season with a bang as he provided both a goal and an assist in Manchester City's opening victory of the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Advertisement Scoring inside the opening two minutes, Foden inspired his side on to a convincing victory over Wydad AC in the group stage of the competition, before delivering the perfect corner for Jeremy Doku to volley home before the stroke of half-time. With Kevin De Bruyne departing the club and Manchester City recruiting Rayan Cherki from Lyon for the number 10 role, many have been wondering how that could impact Phil Foden's positional availability in Pep Guardiola's side. Operating through the middle alongside the aforementioned France international, Wednesday afternoon perhaps offered the first glimpse into the all-energy approach that Guardiola is attempting to implement in his forward line. And speaking to broadcasters after Manchester City's 2-0 win over Wydad AC in their opening contest of the Club World Cup, Pep Guardiola was quizzed on the importance of Foden after his match-winning performance in Philadelphia. Advertisement 'Of course he will be important [this season],' Guardiola insisted. The Catalan tactician continued, 'He plays another role, more there, we have a lot of No10s, we have to adjust many things, but step by step.' For now, it remains to be seen exactly what Pep Guardiola's preference is for the attacking midfield ranks in his side, although the remainder of the Club World Cup could offer some insight into the vision for the new season. Manchester City will next take on the United Arab Emirates' Al Ain on matchday two of the group stage, with the Middle-Eastern club falling to a tough 0-5 defeat on their own opening game of the competition at the hands of Juventus. Pep Guardiola has already stated that the clash against the side in Atlanta, Georgia at the weekend could see a heavily rotated line-up fielded, with as many as 10 new players anticipated for the contest.
