From what we can see, there is a clear preference for European sides in the new format, with only Palmeiras and Flamengo — winners of the 2021 and 2022 Copa Libertadores, respectively — breaking the top 12.
It's also interesting to see that some sides, which qualified due to their performances in past continental competitions, are now far from their former selves and offer perhaps overly generous payouts. Chelsea secured their spot by winning the Champions League under Thomas Tuchel in 2021, but have since dropped from those heights, instead claiming UEFA's third-tier title, the Conference League, this year. Meanwhile, Italian giant Juventus qualified due to the UEFA ranking coefficient, but have yet to finish higher than third in the past five Serie A seasons.
Another interesting case is that of Real Madrid. The Blancos are seen as the favorites to claim their ninth world title, having won five Club World Cups in the previous format and three Intercontinental Cups before. However, they're coming off a poor season by their standards, having finished as runners-up in LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, and being ousted in the Champions League semifinals by Arsenal.
Among those with a longer shot at the title, Copa Libertadores defending champions Botafogo and Argentine giants River Plate offer interesting options. Botafogo has assembled a top-level squad, featuring former European-level players like Alex Telles and Jeffinho. At the same time, River Plate boasts arguably the best squad in Argentine soccer and the greatest Albiceleste prospect this side of Lionel Messi in Franco Mastantuono.
