Brazil started the FIFA Club World Cup with the highest number of players: 142, leaving Argentina (102) in second place.
And this fact is being justified, as it is the nation that has scored the most goals in the competition so far.
The number of contributions in the round of 16 caught attention.
Paulinho (Palmeiras), Hércules (Fluminense), Malcom (Al-Hilal), and Marcos Leonardo (twice with Al-Hilal) helped Brazil take the lead.
There was a tie with Argentina before this stage.
But the Argentinians only celebrated twice in the first knockout round: with Dí María (Benfica) and Cano (Fluminense).
The scorer of Monterrey's goal against Dortmund, Berteráme, was born in Argentina but plays for the Mexican national team. Therefore, he was not included in the list.
The same goes for Jorginho from Flamengo, who represented Italy.
