Paris Saint-Germain is almost certain to reach the FIFA 2025 club World Cup in the last 16 if the European Champions become the third team of group B to beat the Sounders of Seattle on Monday.
PSG begins the evening at three points behind the Botafogo group leaders, who surprisingly beaten them on Friday 1-0 Friday, and must match the result of Atletico Madrid against the Brazilian club to pass.
“Botafogo is the team defended against us this season,” said Paris coach Luis Enrique.
“They acted like a unit, they were united. We have not generated as much chance as usual. We are used to playing against low blocks, but it’s very difficult.
“It is a very intense competition. Everyone is very motivated, whatever the team they face, and especially against us. It is a very short competition and you can be eliminated quickly.
“If there is a team capable of reverse a situation, it is ours. And there aren’t many. In terms of attitude, we were very good. The result should not erase everything.
“We have to look at what we have done well and what we can improve. For example, we have conceded more transitions than in many games. But in these tournaments, you have to play at key moments. We haven’t done it.”

“These kinds of games you probably remember when you retire and have grandchildren and so on. So it can be a good story for many years.”
Manager Brian Schmetzer calls PSG “a large team”. “It is not only a question of stopping this guy or this guy,” added Schmetzer. “It is stop this guy and this guy and this guy and this guy, because they have so many talented players.”
