Against all odds and signing a new failure for Liga MX, León was eliminated from the Club World Cup following losing by the minimum once morest Urawa Reds of Japan, but there is a collective doubt: will he play for 5th place once morest Benzema or not?
In previous years, the clubs that fell in the second round of the tournament measured each other to define the 5th and 6th place in the Club World Cup, so it would be expected that this would happen between León and Al-Ittihad, but the regulations are of course and does not allow it.

Why won’t León vs Al-Ittihad and Benzema face each other?
León came out as a slight favorite for their duel once morest Urawa Reds, but a goal from Alex Schalk left them eliminated. Al-Ittihad and Benzema had the same role once morest Al Ahly, but goals from Maaloul, El Shahat and Ashour eliminated them; The Frenchman made it 3-1.
Logic would say that both losers of their series would compete once morest each other for 5th place, but there is bad news, since for 2023 the format of the Club World Cup changed.
FIFA decided that, in 2023, the match for 5th and 6th place was going to be omitted, since they only want to cover the duels between the 4 best; eliminated in the Semifinals they will compete for 3rd place, but nothing more.
That is why the León had a fleeting visit to Saudi Arabia, because following losing 1-0, they have nothing else to do and will have to return to Mexico soon.

Likewise, it is important to know that, in 2025, the competition format will change, since we will no longer have only 7 clubs, it will become 32 and there will be a format of 8 groups, with 4 teams each.
