After defeating Bayern Munich 2–0 in a thrilling quarterfinals matchup, PSG are now preparing to face Real Madrid in the Club World Cup semifinals. The highly anticipated match will be the first time Mbappé will play against his former club since making the move to the Spanish capital ahead of the 2024–25 season.

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has a couple of big team selection decisions to consider for Wednesday’s Club World Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. The Spaniard will be forced into one change defensively as summer signing Dean Huijsen is suspended as a result of being sent-off in the quarter-final win over Borussia Dortmund.
