It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have a blockbuster fixture at the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals. Unlike the previous matches, Softfootball confirms that the clash between PSG and Bayern Munich promises unpredictability, fireworks, and global attention.
While PSG might be slight favourites, they can’t be called runaway leaders. Bayern Munich have slowly but surely clawed their way back among Europe’s elite.
This is a matchup between the current European champions and a side that has won the Club World Cup twice, each with a rich pedigree and serious firepower.
PSG, widely regarded as the strongest team in Europe right now, dominated French football this season and capped it off with their first-ever Champions League title, hammering Inter Milan 5–0 in the final.
Their Club World Cup journey has been equally dominant. As Softfootball previously reported, PSG swept past Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami 4–0 in the Round of 16. On current form, PSG look capable of blowing away Bayern Munich.
However, this isn’t just any opponent. If PSG were facing anyone else, they’d have a clear advantage. But Bayern Munich are a different beast, a club with a pedigree and depth that matches PSG’s stride for stride.
This upcoming clash will be the 15th meeting between these two giants. Bayern currently lead the head-to-head with eight wins to PSG’s six, and they’ve also won the last four encounters—including a narrow 1–0 win in November.
