The dream of FC Barcelona to compete in the 2025 Club World Cup has faded after the defeat against PSG. After the official confirmation of Atlético de Madrid's classification as the second Spanish representative in the tournament, it is clear that the Barça team will not be present at the World Cup event.
What are the reasons?
The main cause lies in the new format of the Club World Cup. This new system limits two teams per country, except for the Champions League champion. In the case of Spain, there are already two classified: Real Madrid as European champion and Atlético de Madrid for its position in the UEFA ranking and points achieved.
IT IS ALREADY 100% CONFIRMED.
ATLÉTICO DE MADRID WILL BE THE SECOND SPANISH REPRESENTATIVE IN THE 2025 CLUB WORLD CUP (along with Real Madrid).
BARCELONA WILL NOT PLAY THE 2025 CLUB WORLD CUP.

England: Manchester City and Chelsea
Spain: Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid
Germany: Bayern and Borussia Dortmund
Italy: Inter and Juventus
Portugal: Benfica and Porto
France: Paris Saint-Germain
The last place will be for Arsenal (if they win the UCL) or for Salzburg (if Arsenal do not win it).
A hard blow for Barça
This news is a hard blow for the aspirations of FC Barcelona, which was looking to add a new trophy to its record. The Barça team had managed to qualify for the Champions League qualifiers, but their early elimination Against Paris Saint-Germain he cut short his dreams of conquering Europe and, therefore, accessing the Club World Cup.
Despite this setback, Barcelona must focus on concluding the LaLiga season in the best possible way and laying the foundations for a more prosperous future. Next season, the team will have to fight hard to obtain a better position in the UEFA ranking and thus increase their chances of qualifying for the Club World Cup.
