The Group B clash between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Atletico Madrid on Monday at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is going to be the most high-profile game in the first round at the historic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. Notably, the venue hosted the 1994 World Cup final where Brazil beat Italy 3–2 on penalties.
While PSG are coming after lifting their maiden UEFA Champions League title, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is Atletico Madrid's last shot at silverware this season after missing out on La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
The last time these two teams met was two months ago at the UEFA Champions League group stage when Atletico Madrid won 2-1 at the Parc des Princes, thanks to a last-minute goal from Angel Correa. However, PSG went on to win the title.
Date: June 16
Time: 12:30 AM IST
Venue: Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Molina, Le Normand, Gimenez, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Koke, Gallagher; Griezmann, Alvarez.
PSG: The biggest setback for PSG will be not having Ousmane Dembele who got injured while playing for France in the UEFA Nations League. PSG may field young forward Bradley Barcola in Dembele's absence.
Atletico Madrid: Diego Simeone might use Alexander Sorloth or Antoine Griezmann as the strike partner with Julian Alvarez up front. Notably, Griezmann hasn't scored in his last 16 games and lost his starting position.
The PSG vs Atletico Madrid clash in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be streamed live on DAZN's YouTube channel. DAZN is FIFA’s global broadcast partner for Club World Cup 2025 in the United States. There is no update on the tournament's official broadcaster in India.
