The Group B of the 2025 Club World Cup, set to be held in the United States, has been labeled the "Group of Death" due to the exceptional level of competition among its participants: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Atlético Madrid, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)

Led by Luis Enrique, PSG enters the tournament after a season filled with highs and lows. Despite dominating in Ligue 1, the team has shown vulnerabilities on the international stage. On November 6, 2024, they suffered a 1-2 home loss to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, despite an early lead from rising star Warren Zaïre-Emery.

Atlético Madrid

Under Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid has found their form after a shaky start to the season. Competing near the top of LaLiga, the team has been reinvigorated by the youthful attacking duo known as “los pibitos”, featuring Giuliano Simeone and Julián Álvarez.

Botafogo

Fresh off their historic Copa Libertadores victory, Botafogo comes into the tournament with immense momentum. Managed by Artur Jorge, the Brazilian side triumphed 3-1 over Atlético Mineiro on November 30, 2024, in Buenos Aires to claim their first continental title.

Seattle Sounders

Representing Major League Soccer (MLS), the Seattle Sounders are one of the most consistent and successful clubs in the United States. Following their Concachampions triumph, the Sounders have maintained solid performances domestically, demonstrating tactical cohesion and relying on the experience of key players.
