Juventus at the Club World Cup: now it’s official

Napoli’s elimination from Champions paves the way for Juventus
Napoli’s elimination from the Champions League 2023/24 by Barcelona has an important effect as far as the allocation of places reserved for European clubs for the Club World 2025, the first in the expanded 32-team version strongly desired by FIFA: Juventus è in fact certain, as of tonight, to be the second Italian to qualify for the rainbow competition, after 39;Inter.
Whyé Juventus è qualified for the World Club Championship
.
Before the match staged in Montjuic, Napoli had 42 points in the ranking established by Fifa to rank European clubs, five less than Juve. To catch up with the Bianconeri (and qualify by virtue of the best overall run in the Champions League over the past four years), the Francesco Calzona-coached team would have had to pass the round and win one of the two quarterfinal matches: Barça’s 3-1 win, however, frustrated the Campania club’s ambitions.
Thus, there are still two places left, at the European level, for the Club World Cup 2025: the only possibility of having a third Italian team è però vanished due to the elimination of Napoli and Lazio, which should have won the Champions League to win the right to participate in the rainbow competition without going through the selection via ranking.
Club World Cup 2025, all qualifiers so far
At the moment the European teams qualified are Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter, Porto, Benfica,Borussia Dortmund and Juventus: still to be decided two places, at least one of them through ranking (two in case the Champions 2023/24 should go to one of the teams already sure of qualification).
As for the other continents, they are already sure of participation Al-Hilal and Urawa Reds for Asia, Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca for’Asia;Africa, Monterrey, Seattle Sounders and Leon for Central-North America, Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense for South America, Auckland Cityfor Oceania.

Monza, Alessandro Nesta and the special derby with Como

So Alessandro Nesta, Monza coach, on the eve of the match against Como: “It’s an important match for us because it’s been a difficult season, we’ve been missing something. Winning a derby can help put a piece to the season, it would be important, we hope to do well.”
Facing us will be mister Cesc Fabregas who in the conference spoke of a Monza that was difficult to beat and that, net of the standings, put many teams in trouble: “I return the esteem because he plays great soccer, his idea has been seen throughout the championship. I have to congratulate him”.
The derby against the Larians will be the first ever in Serie A at the’U-Power Stadium: “I hope tomorrow will be anyone’s day, anyone who wants to do their best to make history. If you win 1-0, 30 years from now we will remember that derby won because of a player. It’s an opportunity to stay in the history of this club. I would rather win the derby than finish second to last. You are always relegated, but if you win the derby you stay in history”.
Nesta recovers, at least for the bench, Luca Caldirola, Andrea Carboni and Stefano Sensi. “What I try to convey to the players are the difficulties I had. I had surgery 10 times and stopped at 38. All players have difficulties, but it matters how you react to difficulties. It’s easy to tell that I won the Champions League or that I won the World Cup, but you also have to tell that I lost a derby 5-1 and that I left the Olimpico in a helicopter. If you are given up for dead, you have to bring out the fire in you. Would I reconfirm myself next season? No, given the results”.
