FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo live time, streaming
Atlético Madrid still have a shot at reaching the Club World Cup round of 16, but they must beat Botafogo by at least three goals to overtake them in Group B. After a heavy defeat to PSG in their opening game, the Spanish side bounced back with a 3–1 win over the Seattle Sounders, effectively knocking the MLS team out of the competition. Pablo Barrios was the standout performer, netting twice in a commanding display. However, the damage from their loss to the French giants leaves Atlético with a mountain to climb when they face Botafogo in Pasadena on Monday. The Brazilian side caused the biggest upset of the tournament so far by defeating PSG, and they'll be confident heading into this crucial clash. Under Renato Paiva, Botafogo executed a near-perfect defensive performance against PSG, allowing only two shots on target while capitalizing on their limited attacking chances. A similar effort would see the Copa Libertadores winners top what's been labeled the "Group of Death." Atlético Madrid need a big win in Pasadena to progress, but Diego Simeone is unlikely to field an overly attacking side, expect a typically balanced approach from the Argentine manager. Antoine Griezmann is expected to return to the starting 11, likely taking the place of Alexander Sørloth up front. In midfield, Connor Gallagher may come in for the experienced Koke. After his impressive performance and brace in the previous match, Pablo Barrios is set to retain his spot. Although Clément Lenglet is available again following a one-match suspension, no major changes are anticipated in Atlético's defensive lineup. Botafogo team news New signings Joaquín Correa and Arthur Cabral have seen limited action for the reigning Copa Libertadores champions at the Club World Cup, while ex-Everton and Napoli midfielder Allan started in their second group match. Cuiabano, who returned from a back injury to make a brief substitute appearance against PSG, is expected to be in better shape for the upcoming clash. However, with head coach Renato Paiva unlikely to alter his starting lineup, the winger may once again start from the bench. Igor Jesus, who is set to join Nottingham Forest, has been Botafogo's standout performer in the U.S., finding the net in both of their games so far. He's emerging as a dark horse in the race for the Golden Boot. Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo starting 11 (probable) Atletico Madrid starting 11: Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Le Normand, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Griezmann, Alvarez.

New Olympics chief faces stiff challenge
The transfer of the key is more than symbolic as it indicates that the two-time Olympic gold medallist from Zimbabwe now holds the most powerful position in all of sport. A lot is expected of her. During the last three months of the initiation period, she has shown glimpses of what is to come while saying she would prefer more consultation among members and that she would prefer to listen first. Her first step towards that was a two-day 'Pause and Reflect' session with members. Yet, the world she is walking into is more politically charged and divided than ever before. Amid persisting geopolitical tensions, Russian athletes are still not allowed to participate under their national flag. It needs to be seen how she and her team react to a world where global leaders are increasingly using sport to further their political ambitions. Then there is the Trump factor facing the sporting community, with two of the biggest events—the men's football World Cup and the Olympics—to be held in the US in the next three years. Coventry will be directly associated with LA 2028's organising committee. India would be looking towards Coventry with hope, especially with the country's intention to host the 2036 Olympic Games. The Indian Olympic Association has sent the letter of intent and there has been buzz on the ground as well. Given the new IOC president's roots in a developing country, India would be hoping for a closer association. The mental strength she exhibited while winning Olympic medals will be put to test again—this time as the IOC chief.
