The draw in Naples further complicates Barça’s presence in the FIFA Club World Cup

BARÇA DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THE TOURNAMENT IN 2025

The FC Barcelona wants to be one of the 32 teams that are in the first edition of the World-wide of Clubs of the FIFA, which will contest from 15 June until 13 July of the 2025 in United States. Nevertheless, the task to classify to this new tournament does not seem to be the simplest of all, and besides has complicated even more for the culés after the tie that finish achieving this Wednesday in the field of the Naples.

And it is that the Catalans depended fundamentally of two stages before initiating these eighth of final: a very good performance in the phase ‘KO’ of this Champions League and an evil exert of the Athletic of Madrid. But the Barça did not take advantage of the defeat of the group colchonero in front of the Inter (1-0), supposing a backwards important step in search of this attractive pass for the Mundialito that will organise the FIFA to try compete with the money that generates the UEFA every year with the Champions.

The Barça still has much more for winning in this Champions

With 56 points according to the parameters of the ránking UEFA in the last four editions of the Champions, the culés only recortaron of seven to six points his disadvantage with regard to the colchoneros (62) in the coefficient UEFA. That is the road of classification in which more it thinks the Barça to be able to contest the World-wide of Clubs, remembering that only they award two squares by country and one of these already is in being able to of the Real Madrid for having achieved one of the last four edition of the maximum European tournament of teams.

Taking into account that for this classification awards two points by victory and the pass to quarter-finals and semifinals, the Barcelona need yes or yes a victory the Tuesday 12 March in Montjuïc against the Naples, that the Athletic go back to lose in front of the Inter and that in quarter-finals the Barça win at least a party and tie another or pass to semifinals winning in one and losing in the another of chambers.

Of this form, would add six points in total by the three triumphs and one for surpassing the eighth. It would equalise like this to 62 points with the Athletic and, according to the criteria UEFA in case of tie, would go to the World-wide of Clubs the one who more points have done this course, that would be the Barça. Further to follow advancing in this Champions, where the champion also will obtain a ticket to the Mundialito, the Barcelona group also thinks in being in United States in the summer of 2025 contesting the tournament, so much by the sportive glory as by the economic entry that represents.
