If a trend of the top 16 in the Club World Cup continues, Real Madrid and Juventus will play 4:4?

2:55pm, 3 July 2025【Football】

The 8th-finals of the Club World Cup are already half over. How to say it, you have to look at the European teams when watching the Club World Cup. The showdown between Palmeiras and Botafogo is the only match in the 8-group showdown between the top 16 games without European teams, and it is also the only South American civil war. As for the content of the game, you can say that Botafogo is fierce and tough in defense, but to a certain extent, it can also be said that South American teams really feel like they can play wherever they play. With physical confrontation, speed and impact, and personal skills, but there are fewer more advanced things.

If you say that watching football mainly depends on goals, there must be some people who stand up to scold you - does football only focus on goals? Do you know how high the technical and tactical content is in a 0:0 game? Do you know how hard do you work for both teams to avoid being scored by the opponent?

Okay, okay, go and see your 0:0, don’t forget to turn off the lights before going to bed. I still want to see 4:2, 4:1, 4:0.

I also know that Bayern has no one-sided game like Auckland City at 10:0, but it would be boring to say that Bayern has 4:2 Flamenco is not interesting, that would be boring. This is the correct way to open modern football, fighting wildly at high positions, running all the staff, compressing time and space, and increasing the rhythm of offense and defense. Why can Paris Saint-Germain sweep Inter Milan 5:0 in the Champions League final? It's because of the rhythm. As they swept Miami International in the same way 4:0.

Do you have a feeling that if some European teams are still in the stage of not waking up in the group stage, then the knockout stage, at least a few games in the terminal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern have already played the same thing for us. The three scores mentioned above, 4:1, 4:0, 4:2, are the scores played by Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern, who were the first to play in this stage. Is it much better than that South American civil war?

Sorry, Benfica was used as a background board. There is no way, Benfica is not considered a top European team now.

Before, we were worried that the goal would drop sharply after the Club World Cup entered the knockout round. But unexpectedly, it actually rose. All three European giants scored four goals. 4 goals, this has become the regular output of the top European giants in the quarterfinals. If only one or two teams play like this, it's nothing, but these three cases have already formed a trend.

So, are the other top European giants who will appear next ready to catch this output trend of the sky?

Manchester City vs. Riyadh Crescent, in this game, the strength comparison between the two sides is close to Paris Saint-Germain vs. Miami International. Of course, Riyadh Crescent does not have a top superstar like Messi and Suarez, but the team is relatively balanced, the players are of similar level, and the overall operation is smooth. This can be seen from their match against Real Madrid. However, Manchester City has now become in good shape, and it should not be impossible to play 4 new moons. After all, you can still play 5 more against Juventus.

Of course, Paris Saint-Germain entered Miami International in the first half, and it obviously closed in the second half, otherwise I would not know what the game would be like. Manchester City plays in the new moon, and if they really score 4 goals, the allocation may be more even.

Inter Milan vs. Fruminense, it is too difficult to get 4. Inter Milan's output intensity is not very outstanding among European giants. Barcelona is already their limit in the Champions League semi-finals. It is not only the limit of strength, but also the limit of luck. Dortmund plays Monterrey, and both sides are indeed likely to score a big score, refer to Dortmund's 4:3 Mamerodi sunset.

The most subtle thing is Real Madrid vs. Juventus. Both sides are top giants, and the other games are European teams vs teams from other continents. This game is the matchup between two European giants. If this trend is applied, wouldn’t both sides have to score 4 goals? Porto and Cairo Nationals scored 4:4 in the group stage. Does Real Madrid and Juventus also want to play this score?

Of course, all the above are jokes. Even if all three European giants scored 4 goals, it was just a coincidence. Maybe in the next game, this trend will be broken. But from my personal wish, I hope that the next game will be a goal battle. Especially Real Madrid vs. Juventus, both sides have performed so many classic stories in the Champions League. Don’t let us down this Club World Cup.
