The Club World Cup quarterfinals could feature a thrilling Derby d`Italia, with Juventus and Inter potentially clashing for a place in the semifinals. While anticipating the outcome is premature, should Juventus secure first place in Group G (achieved by avoiding defeat tonight against Manchester City, thanks to a superior goal difference), they would be positioned in the same half of the bracket as Inter, who have already topped their respective group.
Victories for both teams in the Round of 16 would lead to a direct confrontation between the sides coached by Igor Tudor and Cristian Chivu. This fixture is always deeply felt by supporters of both clubs, even when played thousands of miles from Italy during the summer break.
