The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup delivers an all‑European blockbuster as Paris Saint‑Germain take on five‑time winners Real Madrid in the second semi‑final on Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
Fresh off quarter‑final victories over Bayern and Dortmund respectively, both giants bid for a place in the final—and a date with either Chelsea or Fluminense.
🔴PSG on a Roll | Home Team = 2.44💵
PSG haven’t missed a beat since faltering early with a slip-up against Botafogo. They stormed through with wins over Inter Miami and Bayern Munich, maintaining perfect knockout form—two wins, two clean sheets.
The European treble winners now transition those same high standards to this stage against a side that has been a thorn in their side on the biggest stage in the past.
🔵 Real Madrid are Firing | Away Team = 2.10💵
Los Blancos arrive unbeaten in the tournament, following solid victories over Pachuca, Salzburg, Juventus, and Dortmund. Their promising form, however, has not been without moments of worry.
Nearly blowing leads, giving away unnecessary penalties and receiving red cards for them and a slight dip in cohesion under new boss Xabi Alonso. However, against PSG, there is no room for error.
🗝️ Key Players & Team News📰:
PSG: Suspensions hit hard—Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez are sidelined after red cards. Expect Lucas Beraldo to slot in defensively while Achraf Hakimi remains a major threat, having directly influenced three goals in three games.
Real Madrid: Dean Huijsen misses out due to suspension. Kylian Mbappé returns to face his former club after illness, further spicing up the narrative. Breakout star Gonzalo García continues to impress, possibly pushing Vinícius Jr. down the pecking order.
🔢 Match Stats & Stakes:
Since their loss to Botafogo, PSG have gone a perfect 8–0, with clean sheets in their 3 games after, including their 2 knockout stage games. | Specials Market: Home/Draw 7 Yes GG/NG = 2.05.
Real Madrid remain undefeated in this tournament, boasting a near-perfect record of one draw and four wins against Juventus and Dortmund. Specials Market: Draw/Away & Yes GG/NG = 2.23.
📊 Team Form & Predicted Line‑ups🧑🤝🧑:
PSG (W W L W W W)
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, João Neves, Fabian Ruiz; Barcola, Doue, Kvaratskhelia.
Real Madrid (W D W W W W)
Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Asencio, Fran García; Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde; Guler, G. García, Vinicius Jr.
🔍Tactical Preview:
PSG: Luis Enrique’s men blend defensive solidity with sharp counter-attacking flair. With Hakimi's offensive prowess from full-back and a midfield triad maintaining control, they’re built for decisive transitions.
Real Madrid: Alonso fields a flexible 3-5-2 system. They thrive on midfield balance and wing width, but must maintain focus after nearly seeing Dortmund slip away. The question is whether experience (Vinícius) or form (García) leads the line.
⚡Expect Fireworks:
Expect a tightly controlled game with both teams following their tactical plans and hungry to confirm their European dominance. Mbappé’s return adds personal tension with his history with PSG, which is expected to spill onto the competitiveness of this clash.
