16-strong game in the Club World Cup! Messi is in trouble, there is no suspense in Paris and Manchester City s advancement, and the two giants are in trouble

After a short rest of one day, the 16th strong match of the Club World Cup will start at 0:00 on June 29. In the first game, Palmeiras will play against Bottafogo, and the showdown between the two Brazilian giants will also kick off the knockout stage. After that, many giant teams such as Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern, Inter Milan, Manchester City and Real Madrid will play one after another. In the end, the eight winning teams will enter the semi-finals and have the chance to compete for the final championship.

Among the many giant teams, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are the most promising teams that are expected to advance easily, because their opponents are Miami International and Riyadh Crescent, which are the two worst teams in this Club World Cup and entered the knockout round. The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Miami International will be held at 0:00 on June 30, when Messi will play against his old club for the first time after leaving Europe.

In this Club World Cup, Miami International has been able to qualify in the group and has successfully completed its mission. In the next knockout round, they will face this year's Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain. The overall strength of the two teams is more than one level. Even if Miami International is the host team and there are superstars such as Messi and Suarez in the team, it is still difficult for them to compete with Paris Saint-Germain.

In the previous group stage, Messi's performance was impressive. In the first two rounds, he hit the post twice and scored 1 goal in the match against Cairo Nationals and Porto, and was the team's number one hero to enter the top 16. However, facing the team that may be the strongest in Europe next time, I believe Messi will find it difficult to perform like this again. At this stage, Messi's physical fitness is the biggest problem. Once Paris Saint-Germain improves the intensity of the game, Messi will find it difficult to have room to perform. As long as Messi is frozen, Miami International offense will face huge trouble. In addition, Miami International's defense line is even more paper-like in front of Paris Saint-Germain. Even Inter Milan cannot stop Paris Saint-Germain, let alone them. As long as both sides perform normally, I believe there is no doubt about Paris Saint-Germain advancement. There is no suspense in the match between Manchester City and Riyadh Crescent. In the group stage, Manchester City was the only team to win, and they also scored 13 goals, which is also the number one in the Club World Cup. Although there is no De Bruyne, Manchester City welcomes Rodri back, with him in the midfield controlling the overall situation. In addition, Haaland, who has recovered his form, Manchester City is almost the biggest favorite in the Club World Cup.

In order to cope with the high temperature, Guardiola has been rotating in the group stage, which means that the physical fitness of the core players in Manchester City does not consume much. In the next knockout stage, if all Manchester City plays, Riyadh Crescent may lose even worse than Juventus.

Compared with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, Bayern and Chelsea are likely to encounter big trouble next. At 4 a.m. on June 29, Chelsea will play against Benfica, who defeated the powerful Bayern in the last game of the group stage and finally qualified for the top spot in the group. As a giant in Portuguese Super League, Benfica's strength is unquestionable. In addition, they are in good shape now. Even if their next opponent is Chelsea, as long as Benfica gets his attitude and state against Bayern, they will definitely have a chance to eliminate their opponents and reach the quarterfinals with their heads held high.

‌As for Bayern, they will face Flamenco at 4 am on June 30. In this Club World Cup, four Brazilian teams performed very well, among which Flamenco beat Chelsea and won the first place in the group, which has proved its strength. Compared with European teams that have come from afar, Flamenco from Brazil is very adaptable to the weather, which is already a big advantage in itself. In terms of strength, even if Flamenco is not as good as Bayern, the gap between the two sides will not be too big, which also laid the groundwork for the unpopularity. At least now, Flamenco has enough strength to defeat Bayern and eventually advance to the quarterfinals.

In other games, Real Madrid will play against Juventus, which is undoubtedly the focus of the 16-strong battle. However, Juventus, which is being rebuilt, may be difficult to stop Real Madrid. Under the leadership of Alonso, Real Madrid has gradually become better. If the two teams perform normally, Real Madrid will undoubtedly be the favorite to advance. In addition, Inter Milan (versus Fruminense) and Dortmund (versus Monterrey) are also popular to advance to the quarterfinals. If nothing unexpected happens, the teams that end up in the quarterfinals are either from Brazil or Europe, and teams from other continents will be difficult to compete with them!
