Atletico Madrid are out of the Club World Cup despite a 1-0 win over Botafogo to close out Group B. The Morning Footy crew unpacks what went wrong for Diego Simeone’s side and what it says about Los Colchoneros in the grand scheme of things. Then, Mbizo Mzamane joins the show to break down the rising dominance of Brazilian clubs, with all four representatives - Palmeiras, Botafogo, Fluminense, and Flamengo - taking names in the group stage. What does this mean for the balance of power in global club football? Watch out, Europe - South America is flexing!
