Despite a late strike from Antoine Griezmann securing a 1–0 win for Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Monday, Botafogo still advances to the knockout stage—finishing second in Group B behind Paris Saint‑Germain
Atletico wins but Botafogo Advances
All three teams—Botafogo, PSG, and Atlético—ended on six points from three matches. But Botafogo progressed based on superior goal difference, with Atlético unable to erase the damage from their heavy 4–0 loss to PSG.
Alex Telles (veteran defender): “PSG and Atletico showed us more respect than most fans and pundits did… we’re those who came to see Mickey in Disneyland, through to the round of 16.”
Marlon Freitas (captain): “We deserved at least a draw… before the tournament started, everyone thought we had no chance… We’ve shown the value of Brazilian football.”
