PSG take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 1 match of FIFA Club World Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, June 15th at Rose Bowl (Pasadena, CA).
PSG have long been Europe’s wealthiest club, spending hundreds of millions — not to dominate France’s modest league, but to finally conquer the Champions League. Yet coach after coach fell short of that one true goal, with only one final appearance under Thomas Tuchel. Under Luis Enrique, the club shifted its philosophy, moving away from aging superstar signings. Last season, they beat Barcelona en route to the UCL semifinals, but fell short again. This time, even after losing Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, the winter arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia helped spark a new era — capped by a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter in the Champions League final. PSG completed a clean sweep of domestic trophies too, but after a short celebration (and an interruption by the FIFA international window), it's back to business with full focus required.

Atlético have one last shot to salvage their 2024/25 campaign. Los Colchoneros finished fourth last season, behind surprise package Girona — and even risked falling out of the top four altogether at one point, under pressure from Athletic Club. That made their summer transfer push logical, and early in the season the improvements were clear. However, their cup run was ended by Barcelona in the semifinals, and their Champions League journey was cut short by Real Madrid in a heartbreaking penalty shootout — the now-infamous “double touch” by Álvarez even led to a change in the rules. In La Liga, the title chase ended early again, with Atlético settling for a distant third. That makes the Club World Cup a golden opportunity for Diego Simeone and his men to grab a meaningful piece of silverware. It's a tournament they’re taking very seriously — and a deep run would be a saving grace for an otherwise frustrating campaign.
PSG and Atlético drew in the 2009 Emirates Cup and the Parisians won their meeting in the 2018 Intercontinental Cup — both unofficial matches. Their first competitive clash came in this season’s Champions League group stage, where Atlético won away in Paris. Now feels like the perfect moment for Dembélé and company to strike back. Back PSG to take revenge and win.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win.
