Inter were entering this Mundial following a challenging season. However, the team likely had a successful year overall. Indeed, it did not secure any victories, yet it consistently found itself just a step away from achieving trophies. Milan took part in two finals: the Italian Super Cup and the Champions League. It goes without saying that reaching this stage in the European Cup is a significant accomplishment. ‘Inter’ managed to overcome Bayern and Barcelona, but in the final, they lacked the strength and composure, resulting in a 0:5 loss to PSG. In Serie A, Inzaghi’s team battled until the end for the Scudetto, yet ultimately fell short against Napoli.
It appears that the Italian team will face challenges at the World Cup – not much time has elapsed since the end of the season, there has been a change in coaching staff, and the key players are ageing. Inter achieved notable success in three rounds, remaining undefeated. Indeed, there are issues with capitalising on opportunities – during the first half against Monterrey, as well as throughout the entire match with Urawa and River Plate, the team pressed actively and created numerous chances, yet the scoring was limited – resulting in a 1:1 draw with the Mexicans, a 2:1 victory over the Japanese, and a 2:0 win against the Argentinians. Nevertheless, he secured the top position.
Fluminense is among just four Brazilian teams to have claimed victory in the Libertadores Cup at this mundial. The team accomplished this in 2023. It is significant that all four teams successfully qualified for the World Cup playoffs. This season prior to the tournament, Fluminense has faced some challenges – after 11 rounds in the Brazilian league, the team currently sits in sixth place, with points lost and wins being nearly equal.
The contentious performances of the Brazilians persisted at the Club World Cup. The team also found success, finishing in the top two of the group without a single loss. Fluminense managed just a single victory – a 4-2 triumph over Ulsan, the least formidable contender in the group. In the initial round, the club delivered its finest performance, despite being unable to secure a victory against Borussia Dortmund. In the third round, Fluminense approached the match with a more conservative strategy, settling for a draw against Mamelodi, with limited attacking play and a focus on maintaining the score.
