The Club World Cup came to an end on Sunday (13), with Chelsea’s 3-0 win over PSG at Metlife Stadium.
With champion and vice defined, it is possible to finish. The podium was dominated by Europeans, but Brazilians managed to position themselves among the top 20 teams in the world.
The best placed, of course, was Fluminense, semifinalist of the tournament. Tricolor das Laranjeiras lost to the champion, Chelsea, but ended up with fourth position in the tiebreaker criteria.
Palmeiras ended in eighth, Flamengo in 11th, and Botafogo was the worst Brazilian, in 14th position. All were at least in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup.
Still in South America, Boca Juniors and River Plate disappointed and were eliminated in the group stage.
The criteria for the classification
The direct confrontation was ignored as a tiebreaker, as the clubs did not face each other. The order, therefore, was: Points, goal balance, scored goals and yellow cards.
With identical campaigns, Seattle Sounders and Pachuca only diverged in the yellow cards. In this specific case, the US team got the best, as they were warned three times, while the Mexicans, four.
