Bayern, with Michael Olise and the fit-again Jamal Musiala teeing up Harry Kane, clearly pose a far bigger threat. But PSG are capable of stifling top-class opponents.

Bayern Munich will have to bypass the European champions if they’re to reach the semifinals of the 2025 Club World Cup. The Bundesliga champions took on Paris Saint-Germain last November in the Champions League league phase and eased to a 1–0 victory.

PSG finished top of the Group B table with two wins and a defeat, losing 1-0 to Brazilian side Botofogo. They made no mistakes in the round of 16 though, making short work of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami side as they ran out 4-0 winners.
