Preview: Atletico vs Botafogo
The Spanish club finished the Primera of 2024 in 4th position, losing even to Girona. Speaking about the next temporada, the updated team tried to aim for maximum goals, but simply rose to 3rd place in the championship, habitually losing to Barcelona and Real. Moreover, the team lost to the first in the cup semi-final, and to the second, in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, in the Champions League play-offs.
The Brazilians reached their peak in 2024. Both on the inner stage, having finally returned to the top of the Serie A, and at the international arena, having won the Copa Libertadores for the first time. Then, due to a family scandal, the winning coach, Artur Jorge, stepped down from work. That resulted in defeats in the Recopa Sudamericana to Racing Avellaneda and the failure to reach the play-offs of the state championship. However, it managed to improve the performance by the end of spring, reaching the play-offs of the Copa Libertadores, and approaching the top 6 in the Serie A.
Diego Simeone’s wards started the Club World Cup with the game against PSG and failed completely, losing in a crushing manner. Then, they generally rehabilitated themselves in the battle against Seattle Sounders – 3-1. The club from Rio de Janeiro started with the confrontation with the Americans and achieved victory, albeit with a 2-1 score. As for the 2nd round, where the team played with the French, everything was sensationally decided by the only goal scored by Igor Jesus. As a result, a draw will be enough.
