Diego Simeone’s team, which was in pot 2 in the draw, faces a difficult task: it will play against Paris Saint-Germain, Botafogo and Seattle Sounders. It means Atleti will play the reigning Ligue 1 champions at least once more this season, having beaten them 2-1 in the Champions League a few weeks ago.

Atlético de Madrid have a remote chance of winning the Club World Cup and, although it is not an easy draw, they are more than capable of topping their group, which would ensure an easier passage into the knockout stages. It remains to be seen how successful they will be in the United States next summer.
