PSG vs Atletico Madrid form
PSG is certainly living in the most beautiful days of its more than half a century of establishment and development.
The French giants have just had a very successful season with a historic treble, winning Ligue 1, the French Cup and especially the UEFA Champions League. Therefore, it is not surprising that PSG is among the top candidates for the championship.
According to experts, the team under coach Luis Enrique is rated second, just after the "galaxy" Real Madrid, and above other famous names such as Man City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid or their defeated opponent in the recent Champions League final, Inter Milan.
In Group B, PSG is the most promising name for the top spot. Atletico Madrid is the second candidate, with enough potential to compete. The remaining two faces, Botafogo (Brazil) and Seattle Sounders (USA) are clearly less hopeful of winning tickets to the next round.
This is only the first time that both PSG and Atletico Madrid have qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup. But for both teams who have been through prestigious competitions, this arena is certainly not too unfamiliar. However, the journey to the top position also promises to be full of thorns.
The team that wants to win the championship will have to overcome a total of 7 matches with a rather tight schedule. Therefore, allocating good strength and fitness for each match promises to be a difficult problem for both Luis Enrique and Diego Simeone.
In the 2024/25 Champions League qualifying stage, PSG and Atletico Madrid had the opportunity to face each other. At that time, despite playing at home at the Parc des Princes, the French champions still suffered a 1-2 defeat.
But with confidence at its peak thanks to its European triumph, PSG are rated higher than their opponents in this rematch. However, to successfully take revenge, the Ligue 1 representative still needs to successfully neutralize the annoying defensive counter-attacking style of play from the opposing side.
In a tournament with a continuous nature, with a frequency of about 4 matches per day, PSG or Atletico Madrid will have to calculate carefully. Even if they are ranked 2nd, the opponents of Enrique or Simeone's team may only be Porto, Palmeiras, Al Ahly or Inter Miami. Therefore, PSG and Atletico Madrid may not need to exert their strength right from the group stage.
