Rayados obtained two draws, one win, and advanced to the Round of 16, adding $21.05 million. This placed them in 18th place in the ranking of highest earnings in the tournament.
In contrast, Pachuca did not manage to score points during the tournament and was one of the worst classified. Los Tuzos returned to Mexico with only the $9.55 million from the base prize.

Trump kept FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself - leaving champions Chelsea to lift a replica
President Donald Trump revealed that FIFA officials gave him the Club World Cup trophy ahead of Chelsea's win in inaugural competition's final. Before the showpiece game at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, Trump told broadcaster DAZN that he was gifted the trophy, and that it currently sits in the Oval Office. Advertisement FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited the White House, along with the trophy, in March. 'They said, 'Could you hold this trophy for a little while?' We put it in the Oval Office,' Trump said. 'And then I said, 'When are you going to pick up the trophy?' He says, 'We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one.'' 'And they actually made a new one. So that was quite exciting…It's in the Oval right now,' he added. This meant that, despite upsetting the odds with their triumph over European champions Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea had to make do with the replica trophy.

He was jeered when he appeared on the stadium's screens alongside First Lady Melania Trump, and again when he walked onto the pitch to present medals to the players with Infantino, who confirmed last week that FIFA opened a new office in New York City's Trump Tower. Advertisement More confusion was sparked online when the president remained with the Chelsea players on stage as they celebrated, having already handed captain Reece James the trophy. After the match, players from the English Premier League club admitted they didn't expect the president to stay with them. 'I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yes,' Cole Palmer, who scored twice in the game, told PA Media. 'They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay,' captain James added.
