The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup continues with fireworks as Paris Saint-Germain takes on fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid in a blockbuster Group B clash this Sunday at the iconic Rose Bowl, California.
It’s the first-ever all-European encounter in Club World Cup history — and while PSG's flair and firepower stand out, Diego Simeone’s tactical warriors bring grit, experience, and a thirst to upset the odds.
🔵 PSG Look to Dominate After UCL Dream Season | Home Win = 1.95💵
PSG arrive as one of the tournament favourites, fresh off a historic treble-winning campaign. Luis Enrique’s side lit up Europe last season, storming to the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, and a record-breaking 5-0 UEFA Champions League final victory over Inter Milan.
While this is their Club World Cup debut, they were already qualified for the defunct 2024 version after their UCL triumph. Now, they must conquer a marathon 7-match format to lift the new global trophy.
Les Parisiens will bank on their electric attack, which racked up 152 goals last season, though only 3 clean sheets in their last 12 matches will give Enrique something to address defensively.
🔴⚪ Atletico Madrid Return to the Big Stage Hungry | Away Win = 4.09💵
It’s also Atletico’s Club World Cup debut, though they famously won the Intercontinental Cup in 1974. Simeone’s men may not have lifted silverware last season, but they know how to grind out results against elite opponents, as PSG know all too well.
In their most recent meeting in last season’s UCL, Atleti stunned PSG with a last-gasp 93rd-minute winner at the Parc des Princes despite having only 4 shots and under 30% possession — classic Simeone style.
After a flat domestic finish, the Madrid giants roared late with six wins in their final nine matches and 19 goals in their last five wins. This is a side that should never be counted out.
🗝️ Key Players & Team News 📰:
• PSG: Ousmane Dembele remains a major doubt after pulling out of France’s Nations League squad. Bradley Barcola should be fit, while Desire Doue is undroppable after his UCL final heroics.
• Atletico Madrid: Jan Oblak is fit and back in camp after international duty. Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo De Paul, and Julian Alvarez all featured heavily for Argentina but are expected to start. Sorloth, despite his La Liga hat trick, may remain a super sub.
