The FIFA Club World Cup group stage is in the books as 16 teams advanced to the knockout stage while the other 16 were eliminated from the competition.
The new-look tournament featured eight groups of four, akin to most international tournaments, where the top two teams over three games each would advance from their respective groups. Teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain—perceived favorites coming in—qualified with relative ease.
Of the feel-good stories, Inter Miami, Botafogo and Flamengo to name a few defied the odds and advanced to the final 16.
If you missed the group stage, here's a list of the final standings from each group and every result from the first half of the competition.
