No próximo mês, o Palmeiras estará representando o Brasil no novo formato do Mundial de Clubes, que contará com diversos times importantes do futebol mundial, como Real Madrid, Bayern de Munique, Manchester City, PSG, Inter de Milão, entre outros. Flamengo, Botafogo e Fluminense também estarão lá.
O Verdão está no grupo A, ao lado de Porto, Inter Miami e Al-Ahly. E o palmeirense pode não conhecer muito bem quem são os destaques dos adversários, já que não são times muito vistos no Brasil.
Destaques do Porto
O principal adversário na fase de grupos é o Porto, que terminou o Campeonato Português na terceira posição.
O grande nome do time é o atacante espanhol Samu Aghehowa, que foi vice-artilheiro da competição, com 19 gols. Ele tem apenas 21 anos e já foi convocado para sua seleção. O português Francisco Moura também fez uma temporada de destaque, sendo o segundo jogador com mais assistências na liga portuguesa, com 10 passes para gols.
O meia português Fábio Vieira, que está emprestado pelo Arsenal (ING), também tem se destacado, além do meia-atacante Rodrigo Mora, de apenas 18 anos. Ele foi eleito o melhor jogador do mês de abril no Campeonato Português.
O Porto ainda conta com três brasileiros no elenco. Um deles é um atacante Pepê, ex-Grêmio e seleção brasileira. Ele é o principal brasileiro que joga lá. Ainda há também o zagueiro Otávio e o atacante William Gomes. Este último, jogava no São Paulo, rival do Palmeiras.
Inter Miami e Al-Ahly
Em tese, os outros dois times do grupo são mais fracos, mas podem complicar se o Verdão não ligar o alerta. O Al-Ahly, por exemplo, é o principal time africano. Este ano, terminou em segundo no Campeonato Egípcio e está disputando a fase final da competição.
Há alguns jogadores que atuam na seleção, como os volantes Kouka, Ateya e o experiente zagueiro Rabia. Mas, não tem um destaque individual.
Já o Inter Miami, os grandes destaques são os atacantes Lionel Messi e Suárez. O time não é dos mais fortes da MLS, ocupando, atualmente, a 5ª colocação. Mas, jogará em casa e conta com esses dois craques, podendo surpreender. Além deles, há também os experientes Busquets e Jordi Alba, mas não vivem a melhor forma.
Palmeiras no Mundial de Clubes 2025
O Verdão estreia na competição mundial diante do Porto, no dia 15 de junho, às 19h (de Brasília). Depois, no dia 19, às 13h, duela contra o Al-Ahly. Por fim, fecha a competição no dia 23, às 22h, contra o Inter Miami. Veja onde assistir aos jogos da competição.

PGA Championship Round 3: How Scottie Scheffler took control
For the better part of two days, unexpected contenders stole the headlines at Quail Hollow Club. Saturday, the game’s top-ranked player made an emphatic statement.World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler played the last five holes Saturday in 5-under-par, leaving a bunched leaderboard in his dust. He holds a three-shot lead over Alex Noren entering the final round, 18 holes from a third career major championship victory.AdvertisementHere are the top numbers to know from the third round of the 107th PGA Championship.1. After making bogey at 13, Scheffler walked to the 14th tee Saturday just 1-under for his round. To that point in the afternoon, his ball striking numbers were solid — 9-of-13 greens in regulation, more than a stroke and a half gained with his approach play — but he hadn’t had the ‘wow’ moment that made the gallery erupt and […]
If WNBA wants a true Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry, the Sky must grow quickly
INDIANAPOLIS – Angel Reese stepped to the free throw line as the boo birds rained down their chorus on her Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Chicago Sky forward had just been on the other end of a flagrant foul committed by Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, and the sellout crowd filled with Fever fans let Reese have it. The boos erupted into cheers when Reese missed the first attempt off the back iron, and they only quieted a little when she sank the second.AdvertisementIn that moment, at the 4:38 mark of the third quarter, the WNBA’s marquee season opener felt like a rivalry. But by the final buzzer, it was clear that this matchup is not … at least not yet. The Fever cruised to a 93-58 victory, its fourth win over the Sky in five tries over the last […]
What’s at stake for Scottie Scheffler on Sunday? It’s more than a PGA Championship trophy
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Like two legacies passing in the night 100 yards across Quail Hollow’s 15-acre lake, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler’s climbs up the mountaintop swapped places and traded roars in a way that sent one back on his heels.At 5:25 p.m., it was PGA Championship solo leader DeChambeau furiously high-fiving fans after consecutive birdies. Twenty minutes later, DeChambeau stood over a bogey putt and had to step off. The pandemonium across the water was too much. At first, he didn’t give it enough validation to look up, but eventually, he had to.AdvertisementOh, he saw it. Scheffler’s 305-yard, high-arcing 3-wood tee shot softly rolling perfectly to the pin on No. 14 for a tap-in eagle. DeChambeau missed his bogey putt, fell to 5-under and could only continue to watch as Scheffler catapulted himself to a solo lead that by […]
