Club World Cup quarter-finals set, Brazilian football spotlight
The Club World Cup Round of 16 matches ended on July 2, with many surprises when the two "giants" Man City and Inter Milan both left after bitter defeats. Surprisingly, Brazilian football, with all 4 clubs participating in this round (achieving a 100% rate of passing the group stage), still had 2 clubs reaching the quarterfinals, Palmeiras and Fluminense. Meanwhile, Botafogo and Flamengo left.

In the Club World Cup quarter-finals, 2 Brazilian clubs also have the most, along with 2 German clubs, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, while England has Chelsea, Saudi Arabia has Al Hilal, France has PSG and Spain has Real Madrid.
Notably, there is a high possibility that the semi-finals will feature an all-Brazilian match, with Palmeiras meeting Chelsea in the quarter-finals (8am on July 5), and Fluminense meeting Al Hilal (2am on July 5). These are two matches in the same bracket, so the public is waiting for the two Brazilian teams, Palmeiras and Fluminense, to continue to cause shock at this year's Club World Cup.
This has a lot of basis, when in the round of 16, Palmeiras defeated their national rival Botafogo with a score of 1-0 after extra time. Meanwhile, Fluminense with veteran player Thiago Silva, who is 40 years old, shockingly defeated the European Champions League runner-up, Inter Milan, with a score of 2-0.

However, Fluminense must also be cautious against Asian representative Al Hilal, who also caused a shock when they eliminated the "big guy" Man City with all the best players with a score of 4-3 after a dramatic score chase on July 1.
In the other bracket, Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 thanks to the only goal scored by 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia. This mysterious factor has just been discovered by coach Alonso, who has scored 3 goals and had 1 assist after 4 matches. Thereby, helping the Spanish Royal team significantly increase their chances of winning the Club World Cup.

In the quarter-finals, Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund at 3:00 a.m. on July 6. Unfortunately, the Bellingham brothers Jude and Jobe will not be able to face each other in this match, as Jobe Bellingham (of Borussia Dortmund) is suspended due to a card suspension.
In the round of 16, Borussia Dortmund defeated Mexican representative Monterrey 2-1 on July 2. In the same bracket, if Real Madrid overcome Borussia Dortmund, in the semi-finals they could face PSG or Bayern Munich, the teams that meet in the remaining quarter-final match taking place at 11pm on July 5.
PSG are still the team with the highest chance of winning the Club World Cup with more than 20.6%, after the second and third candidates Man City and Inter Milan respectively left. These positions are being replaced by Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
