Atlético de Madrid vs FC Barcelona, The Battle for a Spot in the Club World Cup
After securing their spot in the UEFA Champions League Quarter-finals, Atlético Madrid has booked half a ticket to the 2025 Club World Cup, guaranteeing them a bonus of between $25 to $50 million for participating in the tournament, depending on their performance.
Barcelona is keeping an eye on Atlético and fighting to ensure their entry into the Club World Cup. Despite advancing and defeating Napoli, Atlético currently leads by six points.
Therefore, the Blaugrana team will need to reach at least the Champions League semi-finals, winning both quarter-final matches. Even if Atlético were to lose both games, Barcelona would need to draw one of the semi-final matches to qualify.
