Despite a draw on Real Madrid’s pitch this Wednesday in the round of 16 second leg (1-1, 1-0 defeat in the first leg), RB Leipzig was eliminated from the Champions League. A result which clearly suits Borussia Dortmund’s business within the framework of the new format of the Club World Cup.
Borussia Dortmund will only return to the European scene next week, during their Champions League round of 16 second leg against PSV Eindhoven (1-1 in the first leg). But the German club is still one of the winners of this week of C1.
With the elimination of RB Leipzig against Real Madrid (1-1, 1-0 defeat in the first leg), Marco Reus’ teammates are already assured of representing Germany alongside Bayern Munich during the 2025 Club World Cup. While the format of the competition has undergone a real revolution, with a move to 32 teams, Dortmund is now assured of having a place via the “ranking route”, indicates Fifa this Wednesday evening.
Europe will have 12 representatives in this new version of the Club World Cup. The winners of the four Champions Leagues preceding the competition are guaranteed to be qualified. Other tickets are determined by a club ranking based on the same four-year period (2021-2024 for the 2025 Club World Cup), with a cap of two clubs per country. With the elimination of Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund is therefore certain to have the second folding seat reserved for Germany. For now, 20 of the 32 qualifiers are known.
Qualified via continental titles over the 2021-2024 period: Palmeiras, Manchester City, Flamengo, Al Ahly SC, Real Madrid, Al-Hilal, Wydad Athletic Club, Chelsea, Fluminense FC, Urawa Reds, Club Leon, Monterrey, Seattle Sounders
Qualified via the continental ranking over the 2021-2024 period: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, FC Porto, Benfica, Auckland City FC
