After a successful season with a treble, PSG continued to show their terrible strength in the opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The French representative did not need to play at full strength but defeated Atletico Madrid with a score of 4-0, increasing their winning streak to 6, including 3 clean sheets and scoring a total of 21 goals. If they win 3 points against the Brazilian team, PSG will likely have a ticket to the next round with one match left and this task is within the ability of Luis Enrique and his team.
Botafogo, the Brazilian representative, also had a positive start with a 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders in their opening match. However, that performance still has many question marks. The MLS team created many dangerous chances, while Botafogo showed limitations in their ability to create clear chances. However, Botafogo head coach Artur Jorge will certainly have to be very wary of PSG's firepower as the King of Europe has many names that can make a difference and goals can come from anywhere, by any player.
Regarding the squad, coach Luis Enrique has no absences due to injury or suspension. Therefore, he will likely field the optimal squad to quickly secure a ticket to the next round, so that the final match of the group stage will be able to rotate the squad comfortably. Coach Artur Jorge of Botafogo also has a completely fit squad, with notable names such as Artur, Jefferson Savarino, Igor Jesus, Alex Telles, Vitinho and goalkeeper John Victor. While PSG has the advantage in squad and experience, Botafogo is not an easy team to bully. PSG will try to control the match from the start, creating attacking opportunities from fast and technical moves. However, Botafogo with its tight play and sharp counter-attacks may cause dangerous situations.
Although Botafogo brought the South American spirit and spirit to the tournament, the class and superior squad depth helped PSG affirm its strength as a championship candidate. The victory over the Brazilian representative not only consolidated the top position of Group B for the French team, but also affirmed the ambition of Luis Enrique and his team to conquer the world's top position this season.
