Atletico hoping for PSG slip to seal qualification
Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are hoping for a miracle on the final day, as one of them faces elimination from the group stage. Botafogo potentially pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament so far by securing a narrow 1-0 draw over European Champions Paris Saint-Germain last Thursday. Atletico face a must-win clash against Botafogo, but will also be hoping that Seattle Sounders could potentially take points away from PSG.
PSG also face must win clash
Paris Saint-Germain, who are just coming off a European triumph three weeks ago, may be on the brink of elimination. PSG face a must-win clash against Seattle Sounders and must ensure they do not drop any points if they are to reach the knockout stage. As threatening as PSG were, and as much as they threw at Botafogo, the Brazilian side remained resilient enough to see out the match. PSG simply could not find a way through Botafogo’s resilient defense. They may potentially face a similar challenge against Seattle Sounders, who are also known for playing a low block.
Los Rojiblancos hoping to break down a stubborn Botafogo defense
Atletico Madrid will certainly need a lot of help from Lady Luck if they are to see the knockout stages. The Brazilian side Botafogo managed to see out the best attacking side in Europe, giving Los Rojiblancos a difficult task ahead of this game. Not only would Atletico need to win this game, but they will also be hoping that Seattle Sounders can take something away from PSG. Perhaps their opening game thrashing against Les Parisiens did not help them much, and now their position in the tournament hangs by a thread.
