The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is underway, and Sunday brings its first true blockbuster as Paris Saint-Germain take on Atletico Madrid at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
Fresh off their Champions League triumph, Luis Enrique’s PSG arrive in the U.S. on a high, chasing a historic quadruple by adding global silverware to their trophy haul. Their opponents, Atletico Madrid, finished third in La Liga and may be underdogs, but with Diego Simeone at the helm, they’ll be more than ready to spring an upset.
This Group B clash kicks off at 8pm UK time on Sunday, June 15, and it promises fireworks. The last time these two met in Europe, Atletico stunned PSG with a last-gasp 2-1 win in the Champions League group stage — a reminder that the Spanish side can never be written off.
