This is the first European clash of the tournament this year. Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ brings together four teams: PSG (France), Atletico Madrid (Spain), Botafogo (Brazil) and Seattle Sounders (USA). In terms of strength, PSG and Atletico Madrid are the highest rated and are the leading candidates for the two spots to the next round. As direct rivals in the race for a ticket to the round of 16, the confrontation between PSG and Atletico Madrid is of particular importance because the winner will almost certainly have one foot in the knockout round.
PSG are excited
The French capital club are in high spirits after defeating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final to win the UEFA Champions League. They ended a brilliant European season with a historic treble of Champions League, Ligue 1 and French Cup. With that spirit, PSG will surely bring the high excitement to the United States to conquer the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

However, euphoria can also be a double-edged sword. On the positive side, it can help PSG continue to thrive and maintain high performance. But on the other hand, the feeling of "floating on clouds" after glory can cause the team to lose focus - something that has caused many big clubs to collapse right after resounding success.

PSG's problem at the moment is to maintain their spirit, maintain their fighting spirit and serious attitude towards the tournament. In that context, the role of coach Luis Enrique is extremely important. Most of PSG's players have never experienced great glory like this season and are very inexperienced in regaining balance. Coach Enrique - a seasoned coach will certainly know how to help them stabilize again. If PSG can maintain their confidence, humility and focus, they are completely capable of achieving good results against Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid: PSG's nemesis?
Despite being rated higher, PSG still has to be very careful when facing Atletico Madrid - one of the hardest teams to beat in Europe. Those who have followed football for a long time know that Atletico is the "nemesis" of many big teams thanks to their typical defensive counter-attacking style under coach Diego Simeone. PSG and Atletico represent two almost opposite football styles. While PSG pursues a ball control and fiery attacking style of play, Atletico Madrid is famous for its discipline, compactness and sharp counter-attacks. In the Champions League last season, PSG won the championship very convincingly, but on that journey, they have not had to face a team with a quality defensive counter-attacking style like Atletico Madrid.
