For Simeone, the most embarrassing thing is not a 0:4 defeat in the Club World Cup, but the next Club World Cup, and Atletico Madrid will most likely be replaced by Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid cannot lose big scores, for example, they lost to Benfica 0:4 in the UEFA Champions League season 24 to 25. But Simeone has always shown herself as an iron-blooded coach, so the score of 0:4 is related to him, and he has a little bit of a temperamental incongruity.

Club World Cup, Atletico Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 0:4 in the first game. It gives people a feeling that Simeone is outdated and Atletico Madrid is no longer in its peak period. It is worth mentioning that in this Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain seemed to be disliked by Madrid, and caught two Madrid teams and beat them up, with both scores of 4:0. Although Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have a big difference in their results this time, their degree of dirt and shame in the face of Paris Saint-Germain is completely the same. After staying at Atletico Madrid for more than ten years, he was about to go for 20 years. Simeone is also the godfather of Atletico Madrid. But now Simeone does feel powerless, and it is difficult for him to bring the team back to the height from 2014 to 2016. Even though he has always maintained his iron-blooded traits, his concentration seems not that high. After all, Simeone is the coach who led the team to the Champions League final twice, and he cannot have no idea about the Club World Cup. Although winning the championship is a bit extravagant, the group promotion should be the passing goal. In this group, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid are expected to be the expectation of most people. In fact, Atletico Madrid was also close to this goal at one time. In the end, they, Paris Saint-Germain and Bottafogo both scored 6 points. So, the bad luck is in Paris Grande. It would be fine if Paris Saint-Germain lost to Bottafogo 0:1, but why should it be so cruel when playing Atletico Madrid? Atletico Madrid suffers as a loss lies in the goal difference of mutual match results. Simeone must get this kind of loss back, waiting for the next Club World Cup...and wait, this question doesn't seem that simple. There is one possibility that the probability of happening is quite high - compared to being swept by Paris Saint-Germain in 2025 0:4, the greater embarrassment for Simeone is that Atletico Madrid will be replaced by Barcelona in the 2029 FC World Cup.

This involves the selection rules of the Club World Cup. In each league, there can only be two participating teams, unless, like the Brazilian League, you will win the continental championship for four consecutive seasons. But obviously, with Atletico Madrid's current strength, this one can basically be skipped. In fact, Atletico Madrid was able to participate in the competition with Real Madrid this time, which is largely due to the past four years, just in time for Barcelona to be at a low point. Barcelona, led by Frick, had a new look and achieved a recovery, but this further contrasted how powerless they were in the past few years. In the past few years, Barcelona has suffered double kills from Bayern in the group stage, was also severely damaged by Benfica, fell into the Europa League, and was eliminated by Frankfurt. These experiences make them far worse than Atletico Madrid in terms of Champions League results, not to mention Real Madrid. But this is not the norm. Spanish football has always been a duo of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Of course, you don’t need to go to ancient times to gain the glory of Athletic Bilbao. Since the 21st century, only a few teams such as Valencia and La Coruna have impacted this solidified model. Of course, Atletico Madrid. But only Real Madrid and Barcelona can play the title defense or the job of winning the championship multiple times in a few years. In fact, in this Club World Cup, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid represent La Liga, which is more or less a bit inconsistent. Because what should be more is Barcelona. In terms of popularity and traffic, FIFA definitely hopes that Barcelona can come. Now that Barcelona has completely recovered its vitality, it is hard to imagine that they will fall back to the trough in the next three or four years. Therefore, Atletico Madrid will likely be compared in the Champions League. Even in extreme cases, Real Madrid and Barcelona will win the Champions League championship in the next three seasons, and they don’t even have to count the points, and they will directly get the Club World Cup spot as their champion. So, I really don’t know when Simeone will appear in the Club World Cup next time. After all, participating in the Club World Cup is not the norm for Atletico Madrid. They just picked up the tickets dropped by Barcelona. But this kind of drop will not happen often.
