5 Champions League finals, which may repeat in the Club World Cup, Manchester City is expected to meet Inter Milan and Chelsea again

Football

The Club World Cup round of 16 has completed half of the game, and two quarter-finals will be generated in the upper and lower half of the area. Soon, the last four quarter-finals will be confirmed. Interestingly, in the past 6 Champions League finals, 5 games may be repeated in the Club World Cup. Before the start of the Club World Cup, many fans would think that this is not a "disguised" Champions League? However, among the top 16, 4 teams are from South America, 2 from Central and North America, and 1 from Asia. European teams do not have an absolute advantage.

However, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich winning respectively, defeating Miami International and Flamenco, only Palmeiras won the "South American Derby", and the rest of the teams advanced to the quarterfinals were European teams.

Interestingly, the last six Champions League finals were Paris Saint-Germain defeating Inter Milan, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund, Manchester City defeated Inter Milan, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool, Chelsea defeated Manchester City, and Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain. Except for Liverpool who missed the competition, there are all chances to repeat the other five games in the Club World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, who advanced earlier, are a group of confirmed "replica" matchups in the Champions League final, with the two giants meeting in the quarterfinals. In the subsequent four rounds of 16 games, if Manchester City and Inter Milan defeat Riyadh Crescent and Fruminense, they will meet in the quarterfinals, and similarly, if Real Madrid and Dortmund both defeat Juventus and Monterrey, they will meet in the quarterfinals.

If Chelsea and Manchester City want to meet, it will be a little later. According to the matchup chart of the knockout stage, the two teams can only meet in the semi-finals of the first half. In the Champions League final a few weeks ago, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan were the most difficult to meet. The two teams were in the upper and lower half of each other. Only when they met again in the finals would they have a chance to meet. I wonder if the final of the Club World Cup will become the final of the Champions League?

Perhaps, Manchester City eliminated Inter Milan in the quarterfinals, defeated Chelsea in the semi-finals, and met Paris Saint-Germain in the finals, which is a story that many fans want to see. After all, in the just-passed Champions League, Paris's defeat of Manchester City occurred in the group round-robin stage. The two teams did not meet in the knockout stage. The Club World Cup hidden the opportunity to continue to "sweep" the Premier League. Wenger, as the FIFA development director, came to Manchester City's residence this time and met Guardiola and his former disciple Toure.

Since the Champions League championship passes directly to the Club World Cup, in addition to Liverpool, the other runner-up teams can also pass the rankings and qualify for the competition, so it is a very natural story to repeat many Champions League finals in the Club World Cup. The team that once lost in the finals had the opportunity to challenge the same opponent again, which added a lot of highlights to the previously dull Club World Cup.
