CR Flamengo brought Brazilian flair, qualifying with moves smoother than a samba. Juventus Turin and Atlético Madrid also secured their spots, ready to throw punches. But the real buzz? Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Group B champs, are set to clash with Inter Miami, the MLS heartthrobs who squeaked through as Group A runners-up after a tense 2-2 draw with Palmeiras. Oh, and Manchester City? They’re here, cool as ever, while Botafogo sneaks in as Brazil’s surprise package. These teams are serving looks and goals!
The Eliminations That Broke the Internet
If you thought the qualifiers were juicy, the eliminations are pure chaos. Real Madrid, yes, the Real Madrid, crashed out, leaving fans gagging and keyboards smoking. They’re not alone: Al Ahly, FC Porto, Wydad, Al Ain, and Auckland City got the boot, some with losses so brutal they’re still trending. MLS hopes Los Angeles and Seattle Sounders flopped, and Asia’s Urawa Red Diamonds and Ulsan HD are out, too. Whispers on X suggest bad tactics and worse luck, but the truth? This 32-team format is a meat grinder, and reputations mean nothing. The fallout’s got everyone picking sides, check the comments for some spicy fan rants!
The Underdog Drama We’re Obsessed With
