With the new format of the Club World Cup, many football fans are usually focused on the big European teams. But it is the Brazilian clubs that are unexpectedly in the spotlight in the Club World Cup. Even more than the Brazilian clubs, football fans will probably pay more attention to the Argentine clubs River Plate and Boca Juniors. However, all the Argentine clubs have already exited the group stage. Brazilian clubs Palmeiras, Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense have all advanced to the round of 16. Botafogo was in a tight group, but they advanced to the round of 16 in a group that also included Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.

With their best form, they were able to eliminate Simeone's Atletico Madrid, a European powerhouse, in the group stage. In fact, no one would have expected Brazilian clubs to reach this stage. Botafogo and Flamengo were content with the round of 16, but there are two Brazilian clubs that have made it through the round of 16 in the best form and reached the quarter-finals. These two teams are Palmeiras and Fluminense. Palmeiras faced Brazilian club Botafogo in the round of 16 and won 1-0 to advance to the quarter-finals. They will face English Premier League side Chelsea in the quarter-finals. Fluminense, led by veteran defender Thiago Silva, advanced to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Inter Milan, who had reached the Champions League final.

Fluminense will face Saudi club Al Hilal in the quarter-finals. It is not easy for Brazilian clubs to reach the quarter-finals, despite the big European teams. Normally, Brazilian clubs are considered as home teams and not much attention is paid to them. However, Brazilian clubs have shown what they can do. That is why, in this year's Club World Cup, Brazilian clubs have been more impressive than clubs from Argentina and other leagues. Thank you to everyone who read this article.
