The Paris Saint-Germain hype train continues this week with a scintillating matchup against Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas in the FIFA Club World Cup. The champions of South America are in mid-season form and will look to take down a PSG side that has defeated Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid the last two matches by a combined score of 9-0.
Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast is Pedro from Glorious Botafogo (@GloriousBotaYT). We talk about how he became a fan of Botafogo, their storied history, and we look ahead to the matchup between PSG and the Brazilian club at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Thursday.
Up first, Pedro shares some history about his club, including the last time PSG and Botafogo faced off. He also details Botafogo’s recent historical success and the changes the club has had to endure since last season.
With things in historical context, we dive into Thursday’s matchup. Pedro shares some of the key players PSG will want to prepare for and what style of football Botafogo will want to play.
Next, we talk about the perception of the Club World Cup and how motivated Botafogo will be to knock out the newly crowned European champions. We also discuss the financial implications for a team like Botafogo to win the Club World Cup, their owner (who also owns Olympique Lyonnais), and I get his prediction for the match.
