After a surprising 1–0 loss to Botafogo in Pasadena, PSG no longer tops Group B — but their Club World Cup journey is far from over. The Parisians still have three possible scenarios to secure a spot in the Round of 16.
1. Win vs Seattle = Qualified
A victory against Seattle Sounders guarantees PSG a place in the next round, regardless of the outcome between Atlético and Botafogo.
2. Draw vs Seattle = Wait and See
If PSG only manages a draw, they can still go through — but only if Atlético Madrid fails to beat Botafogo.
3. Lose vs Seattle = Slim Chance
Even in defeat, PSG isn’t entirely out — but qualification would require Botafogo to defeat Atlético. Only then could Paris sneak through.
If they qualify, PSG will face one of the top teams from Group A, likely Palmeiras or Inter Miami. It’s all to play for.
