The FIFA Club World Cup group stage is in the books as 16 teams advanced to the knockout stage with hopes of lifting the trophy this summer. The new-look tournament has been met with mixed feelings so far. As debates regarding the packed match calendar rage on, scenes of empty stadiums early in the tournament was a cause for concern. On the other hand, there’s been some feel-good stories this summer—including Flamengo and Botafogo—and positive additions like the referee camera. Certainly a precursor to the World Cup next year in the United States, the action and interest should heat up during the bracket as blockbuster matches come to fruition. Nearly every major European side advanced to the bracket sans Atlético Madrid who fell in Group B. Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are perceived favorites in the bracket.
