Atlético Madrid is on the brink of collapse: Botafogo pulls off a miracle against PSG, forcing a red-and-white feat.

Atlético Madrid were feeling very happy after getting their Club World Cup on track with their victory over the Seattle Sounders. The red-and-white joy lasted for about three hours, until Botafogo's victory over PSG was confirmed, a triumph as historic as it was unexpected, pushing Simeone's team into the abyss.

At the end of the second matchday, Group B was dominated by Brazil with six points, followed by France and Atlético Madrid, both with three. Heading into the final and decisive matchday, the first two tiebreakers if two or more teams finish tied on points are: the highest number of points earned by each team and the best goal difference resulting from their head-to-head matches.

Therefore, there are only two ways for Atlético to reach the round of 16. The first is for PSG to fail to win against Seattle and for the Red and Whites to improve on the French team's result. A realistic but highly unlikely option leads to the second option. A win for both the French and Spanish teams would result in a three-way tie in the group, forcing Atlético to thrash Botafogo by three goals or more to overtake them in the standings.
