The World Club World Cup group stage is coming to an end, and the qualifying quotas for each group have been basically determined. European and South American clubs, as the strength and box office role of this competition, have basically qualified smoothly, especially South American clubs' performance generally exceeded expectations. But each continent also has a team, and its performance is severely poor, which puts shame on their respective leagues and continents.

The first to be hit is Porto, a Portuguese football club established in 1893, which has won 30 domestic top league championships in Portugal. In the European arena, Porto has achieved remarkable results, twice leading the European Champions League. In 1987, they stood at the top of Europe for the first time; in 2004, they even beat Manchester United, Lyon, La Coruna and other strong teams, and defeated Monaco 3-0 in the final, winning the Champions League trophy again, achieving the feat of winning the UEFA Cup first and then the Champions League for two consecutive years. They also won the championship twice in the Toyota Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup.

The Argentine giant Boca youth is one of the best families in South America and is also well-known in the world football world. They were founded in 1905 and won 35 Argentina League A championships and 2 Argentina Cup championships. In the South American arena, they dominate the team, winning the South American Liberators Cup 6 times, the South American Club Cup 2 times, and the South American Winners Cup 4 times and many other honors. In addition, they have won the InterContinental Cup championship three times, the predecessor of the Club World Cup.

However, in this Club World Cup, these two traditional strong teams were shocking. Porto's performance in the group stage was terrible, with 0 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 3 games, and only 2 points were earned. He was weak on the offensive end and only scored 5 goals in total. He only scored 1 goal in the first two games, and his defense line was full of loopholes, and he was scored 5 goals by his opponent.

You should know that their group opponents are Palmeiras, Miami International and Cairo Nationals, and their overall strength is not very strong. If it is understandable that Palmeiras, who won the Liberators Cup twice in 2020 and 2021, is it difficult to accept that the loss to Miami International and the draw with Cairo Nationals. Such a result is in a sharp contrast with their former glory and does not show the strength and style that a European powerhouse should have. It is no wonder that they will be treated by disappointed fans after returning to China. The performance of the Boca youth is equally disappointing. In fact, their performance in the first two games was quite good. They played against Benfica back and forth in the first round, and drew 2-2, which made many fans feel very satisfying. In the second round of the game, they lost 1-2, but this was an expected loss of points. After all, Bayern is stronger than them.

But what really makes people collapse is that in the last round, facing Oakland City, which consists of a large number of amateur players, lost 16 goals in the first two rounds, and failed to score 1 goal. They were tied 1-1 by their opponents, becoming the background board for their first goal in the history of the Club World Cup, and also gave their opponents a prize of $2 million.

Of course, you can say that you are a Boca youth no longer the super wealthy family of those days, especially in recent years, because of the palace fighting of the club management, the team's combat power has declined significantly. It can also be said that after seeing Benfica lead Bayern, they felt that it was impossible for them to qualify, so they simply played it out. However, as a traditional giant, it would be embarrassing to be tied by a team with multiple levels of strength that is inferior to them.

To sum up, these two teams are undoubtedly the most awkward in this Club World Cup. They have won 5 Club World Cups in total, but now they are hard to win, and they have lost all their face to their respective continents and leagues.
