Context & Stakes

Group B reaches a dramatic finale. Botafogo top the table with a perfect six points after shock wins over PSG (1-0) and Seattle (2-1). Atlético Madrid sit third on three points with a -2 goal difference; to leapfrog the Brazilians they must win by three goals (a two-goal margin favours PSG on goals scored). Anything less and Diego Simeone’s men crash out. Botafogo, meanwhile, need only a draw (or a defeat by one) to clinch an historic last-16 berth. The Rose Bowl is sold out; tension is sky-high.
