The last 16 of the revamped Club World Cup drew to a close on Tuesday, with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund progressing to the quarter-finals as expected, after wins over Juventus and Monterrey, respectively. However, the first round of knockout games in the United States still produced plenty of shocks, the biggest of which saw Al-Hilal dump Manchester City out of the tournament with a sensational 4-3 win over Pep Guardiola's side.

There was also a massive surprise in Charlotte as Fluminense defeated Champions League runners-up Inter by playing the kind of catenaccio game for which the Nerazzurri were once famous.

Elsewhere, Palmeiras sprung a minor surprise by winning their all-Brazilian battle with Botafogo, Chelsea beat Benfica after extra-time, Bayern Munich got the better of Flamengo in a very entertaining encounter, while Paris Saint-Germain eliminated the 'hosts', Inter Miami, with a 4-0 rout of Lionel Messi & Co.
