Less than a month after lifting the first Champions League in its history in a harshly disputed final against Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain is back under the world's projectors. This return to the field is made in an unprecedented context: the Club World Cup, version 2025, is held for the first time in a format extended to 32 teams, modeled on that of a World Cup of Nations, and takes place in the United States, against the backdrop of increasing craze for football across the Atlantic. This competition, which FIFA wants to erect as a flagship meeting of the international club calendar, offers PSG the perfect opportunity to add a prestigious line to an already historic season. Winners last May of Ligue 1, the French Cup and especially the C1, the Parisians approach this tournament with the assertive ambition to extend their domination and definitively establish their status on the world scene.
For their entry, Luis Enrique's men face a formidable opponent: Atlético de Madrid de Diego Simeone. A shock immediately between two European powers, which promises a high -level tactical fight and a life -size test for a Parisian team still carried by the Euphoria of Spring, but aware that a new summit promises to be. If PSG seems to have reached a form of collective maturity under the leadership of the Spanish coach, this new test, in condensed tournament format, requires rapid adaptation and an ability to maintain the intensity against various opponents. Luis Enrique, during the pre-match press conference, recalled the importance of not relaxing after the continental triumph, stressing the group's desire to “win everything” and continue to “mark history”. The challenge is immense, the constant pressure, but the PSG version 2025 seems determined to further push the limits of what is possible.
