Part 6/8:
Botafogo’s Difficult Path
For Botafogo, the group draw proved daunting with the inclusion of perennial powerhouses PSG and Atlético Madrid. While their chances of advancing may seem slim based on historical performance, the opportunity for high exposure on such a stage should be viewed positively. Encounters with these marquee teams could bolster Botafogo's branding and contribute to their long-term aspirations on the world stage.
Flamengo’s Manageable Group
Flamengo landed in a relatively favorable group featuring Esperance from Tunisia, León from Mexico, and Chelsea from England. While caution is warranted against firms like León, Flamengo is anticipated to progress to the knockout stages with relative ease, although injuries and form can always tilt the balance.
