Atletico, whose president is a film promoter by trade, wanted this tournament to be a Hollywood blockbuster. It turned into a horror movie

By Fernando Kallas (Reuters) -Atletico Madrid will have to pick themselves up again as they pack their bags to travel back home earlier than most expected from the Club World Cup, after being knocked out of the tournament in the group stage.

Atletico Madrid crashed out of the Club World Cup group stage on Monday night despite battling to a 1-0 win over Botafogo. The Brazilian outfit will move on to the knockout stages alongside Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Seattle Sounders 2-0 in the opposite fixture to summit Group B.
