Now, Barcelona ace Raphinha has voiced his opinion on the Club World Cup, slamming FIFA over their planning of the competition. While speaking at an event, Raphinha mentioned how the Club World Cup is essentially 'forced' on players, who have to 'give up' their 'sacred' vacation time.

Among the stars competing in the FIFA Club World Cup are Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (Argentina), Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (England) and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, all of whom are expected to star for their countries at the 2026 World Cup.

The quarterfinals produced a staggering amount of drama, especially on the right side of the draw as Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich and Real Madrid dueled Borussia Dortmund in repeats of recent UEFA Champions League finals. It was the French and Spanish giants who triumphed over their German opponents.
