The Atletico Madrid vs Botafogo, FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match will be live-streamed for free in India on the DAZN website.

Atletico Madrid face Botafogo in a must-win Group B clash of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 at the Rose Bowl Stadium on 23 June. The Spanish giants, third in the group behind PSG on goal difference, must win, ideally by three goals, to seal a spot in the knockouts or hope for a favour from Seattle.

After a heavy loss to PSG, Diego Simeone바카라�s side bounced back with a 3-1 win over Seattle but remain on the brink. Botafogo, meanwhile, top the group with six points after stunning wins over Seattle and European champions PSG.

With a five-match winning run and a solid low-block system under Renato Paiva, the Brazilians promise to be a tough test in this high-stakes encounter.

Atletico Madrid and Botafogo will face each other for the first time in a competitive fixture. The two sides have previously clashed three times in friendly matches during the 20th century, with both teams picking up one win each while the third ended in a draw.

All three encounters were high-scoring affairs, each producing over 2.5 goals, hinting at the potential for another entertaining contest.

Here we goooo! The buzz is electric inside the stadium as two continental giants face off, Atletico Madrid in their sharp red-and-whites, Botafogo in classic.

The teams are out, final huddles done. Cesar Arturo Ramos, the man in the middle tonight, checks his watch, whistle blows.

We're underway! Botafogo take the first touch as the ball rolls into the lush green. The first-half battle begins. Stay with us for every twist, turn, and tackle.

Atletico Madrid are settling into their rhythm, pinging short, sharp passes across midfield as they look to draw Botafogo out. It바카라�s patient, probing play textbook Simeone-style control. But Botafogo aren't just sitting back.

At the 7-minute mark, Allan tried to catch the Spanish defence off guard with a curling ball into the box, but an Atletico defender read it early and hoofed it clear without hesitation. Early signs of intent from both sides.

Huge moment in the 11th. Jefferson Savarino looked certain to ripple the net with a low drive arrowing toward the bottom right corner, but Atleti바카라�s keeper wasn바카라�t having it. A full-stretch dive, fingertips just enough, and the ball stays out! That바카라�s a proper wake-up call for the Spanish side. Botafogo showing they didn바카라�t come here for selfies and shirtswaps.

Pablo Barrios finds a pocket of space, latches onto a neat pass, and lets fly, but it바카라�s more of a polite suggestion than a serious strike. John Victor watches it roll in and gathers with ease. Atleti still searching for that cutting edge.

From the aftermath of a free-kick, Gregore pounces on the loose ball and doesn't think twice, he lets it rip from range! It fizzes just wide of the right post, with the Atleti keeper scrambling. Fogão getting bolder by the minute!

A hush falls over the Botafogo fans as Marlon Freitas signals to the bench, something바카라�s not right. He바카라�s down on the turf, calling for the medics after what looks like a knock picked up off the ball.

The physios are on, checking him over. It바카라�s a worrying moment for Fogao, who바카라�ve looked lively so far. They'll be hoping it's nothing serious.

Julian Alvarez nearly breaks the deadlock in the 42nd minute, carving out space inside the box after a slick pass and unleashing a shot that whistles just wide of the left post.

Two minutes later, in the 44th, he바카라�s at it again, darting into the area and going down under pressure from a Botafogo defender. Atleti appeal furiously, but referee Cesar Arturo Ramos waves it away, no penalty given.

But hang on, in the 45th minute, the drama spikes as the referee halts play and signals for a VAR check. He바카라�s heading to the monitor to review the incident. Tension crackles, could we have a penalty before the break?

After a long, tense wait, the verdict is in, no penalty. Following a thorough VAR check on the challenge that sent Julian Alvarez tumbling in the box, referee Cesar Arturo Ramos sticks to his original call.

He signals for play to continue, and the match remains goalless. Atleti are left frustrated, Botafogo relieved, and we head toward the break with nothing separating the two. Still 0-0, but far from dull!

Julian Alvarez tries to make something happen on his own, taking aim from the edge of the area. But the connection is all wrong, it바카라�s a wild slice, and the ball sails harmlessly wide of the left post. Atleti pushing hard, but the final touch just isn바카라�t clicking.

The referee blows for half-time after a scrappy end to the half, with Atleti unable to capitalise on a late corner as Fogão바카라�s defence clears the danger. Both sides had chances, Savarino and Gregore came close for Botafogo, while Alvarez saw a VAR penalty check waved off and sent one effort sailing wide. It바카라�s 0-0 at the break, but the tension is building nicely.

Antoine Griezmann works a short corner and finds himself in a promising spot soon after, but the final ball lets him down. He whips in a cross that sails well off target, and he knows it. A frustrated shake of the head from the Frenchman as a good opportunity slips away.

Atleti make their first change of the night, Rodrigo de Paul makes his way off after a solid shift in midfield, and on comes club captain Koke to take the reins. A tactical tweak as Simeone looks to inject fresh energy into the engine room.

A golden chance goes begging for Atleti! Alexander Sorloth brings down a lovely lofted ball with a neat first touch, but just when composure is needed, he lashes at it wildly and sends it flying into the stands. A quick moment, a clear sight, but no finish. Atleti fans left with heads in hands.

Nearly the breakthrough for Atleti. A loose pass bobbles inside the Botafogo box and Antoine Griezmann is quickest to pounce. He sets himself for the finish, but doesn바카라�t catch it cleanly, the shot slices just wide of the right post. So close, yet again, for the Spanish side. The frustration keeps piling up.

There it is!

After all the near misses and rising frustration, Antoine Griezmann delivers when it matters. He latches onto a brilliant defence-splitting low pass inside the box, stays calm, and slots it into the right side of the net with clinical precision. Atleti lead 1-0, and the stadium erupts! A moment of pure class from the Frenchman.

That바카라�s a win-win if there ever was one, Atleti take the match, Fogao take the ticket to the Round of 16. Drama, tension, and a late goal to cap it off. We바카라�ll be back with another live blog soon. Until then, goodbye and take care.
