It is likely that Atlético de Madrid should defeat the leaders of Group B, Botafogo, for at least three goals on day 3 if the Spanish team must advance to the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
After a 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, Atleti returned with a 3-1 victory against the fourth-place team The Seattle Sounders on Thursday.
“We defeated Seattle and played a great game, and the other result did not favor us,” said striker Julian Álvarez, referring to the 1-0 PSG defeat against the Brazilian club.
“We have to score several goals … it depends on us; we have to play a great game, make almost everything goes well and try to capture the chances of having to score the goals we need.”
“We know that it will not be easy, but we trust that. The team is preparing in the best possible way and we ask him to trust us and support us because we are going to give everything we have to try to qualify.”

Botafogo felt that the winners of the PSG Champions League showed a lack of humility that contributed to their fall on the first day 2.
“We will never be afraid of anyone,” said Central Alexander Barboza after the victory at the Rose Bowl in California.
“It was a very difficult game: we knew it would be. They have very high quality players, but they also do Botafogo. We are a humble team that we give everything in the field with determination.
“We ran for 95, 96 minutes, I don’t know how much the game lasted. But now it’s just happiness. The word is humility, that was the key.
“Everyone ran backwards, front, sideways, remained together and did not give space to the opposition.”
