The Bundesliga champions took on Paris Saint-Germain last November in the Champions League league phase and eased to a 1–0 victory. However, the PSG of that night will not be the team Vincent Kompany’s side encounter in Atlanta. Luis Enrique has since evolved his swashbuckling Parisians into the world’s best.

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.

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.
