Club World Cup knockout stage bracket: Schedule, who's qualified and match locations
FIFA's newly-expanded Club World Cup has reached the end of its group phase, with two weeks of knockout matches to come ahead of the final on July 13. Having risen from seven teams to 32 for this summer's tournament in the United States, 16 teams will now compete in the knockouts for the chance to potentially walk away with up to $125million in prize money for less than a month's work. Advertisement European giants Real Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica all topped their groups, while Brazilian clubs Palmeiras and Flamengo were also group-winners. Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Juventus had to settle for runners-up spots, however, while Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, Botafogo, Monterrey, Fluminense and Al Hilal also progressed to the round of 16. In a feisty group stage – notable for extreme heat, surprise upsets and red cards – three European sides were eliminated: RB Salzburg, Porto and Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone's side were surprisingly pipped to second-place in Group B by Botafogo, despite winning two of their three group matches, including a 1-0 victory over the Brazilian side. Messi helped to ensure Miami finished ahead of Porto in Group A, scoring a brilliant direct free-kick in a 2-1 win over the Portuguese side in Atlanta. Miami will be the only Major League Soccer representatives in the knockouts after both Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC finished bottom of their groups, with just one point between them. City were the only club to win all three of their group games, including a 5-2 dismantling of Juventus, who finished as group runners-up. Real, Dortmund, Inter, Benfica and Flamengo were all, though, unbeaten across their three group games. Argentine giants Boca Juniors and River Plate were also eliminated in the group, along with Al Ahly, Auckland City, ES Tunis, Urawa Reds, Mamelodi Sundowns, Ulsan, Al Ain, Wydad AC and Pachuca.

Spain star Aitana Bonmatí hospitalized with meningitis less than a week before Euro 2025
Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmatí, the two-time Ballon d'Or holder, has been hospitalized with viral meningitis less than a week before the Women's European Championship begins. Spain coach Montse Tomé said late on Friday that her star player had felt ill and was taken to a hospital in Madrid where she tested positive for meningitis. Spain's team is set to travel to Switzerland on Sunday for the tournament. Its first game is against Portugal on Thursday in Bern. It will also face Belgium and Italy in Group B at Euro 2025. 'Aitana is a very important player for us and we will wait for her,' Tomé said after Bonmatí missed Friday's friendly against Japan in the Spanish capital when Spain beat the visitors 3-1. Tomé said that Bonmatí started feeling bad with a fever during practice early on Friday. 'She has authorized me to say that she has viral meningitis,' Tomé said. 'The word is scary, but the doctor tells me that she is under control. She will remain in the hospital and we don't know for how long.' The 27-year-old Bonmatí has won the top individual award for women's soccer for the past two years. The Barcelona player was key in Spain winning the 2023 Women's World Cup. Bonmatí's vision, dribbling skills, passing and goals have been also been vital to Barcelona reaching five consecutive Champions League finals, with the Catalan club winning three titles. Her absence would put more pressure on Alexia Putellas, herself a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, and fellow Barcelona midfielder Patricia Guijarro to led Spain. Against Japan, Tomé started 18-year-old Vicky López in place of Bonmatí. Three years ago, Putellas tore her ACL three days before starting the 2022 European Championship. Spain was eliminated in the quarterfinals without its then-top player. Spain should still be favored in its opener against Portugal, a team it beat twice in April — including a 7-1 home victory — in the Nations League. ___ AP soccer: recommended
