A huge clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich takes place tonight at 9:45 PM Nepali Time (July 5) at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, as the two European powerhouses battle for a place in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
Luis Enrique’s PSG enter the knockout phase in red-hot form, demolishing Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami 4-0 last weekend. A brace from rising midfielder Joao Neves, an own goal, and a strike from Achraf Hakimi showed just how dangerous this team is.
Fresh off their 2024/25 treble, PSG are among the top contenders for the title—boasting the highest average possession (72%) and the fewest goals conceded (1) in the tournament.
After a narrow loss to Benfica in the group stage, Bayern bounced back by beating Flamengo 4-2. Harry Kane struck twice, supported by a goal from Leon Goretzka and an own goal by Erick Pulgar.
Despite injuries to key defenders like Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito, Vincent Kompany’s squad continues to press high and score frequently—netting 16 goals across the competition so far.
Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Barcola, Doue, Kvaratskhelia
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Stanisic; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane
Despite Bayern’s historical edge over PSG, the momentum seems to be with the French champions. Expect fireworks in Atlanta tonight—with PSG having just enough quality to advance.
