Coach Luis Enrique's tactical "specialty" is still effective
After the historic treble in the 2024 - 2025 season, PSG is considered one of the strong candidates for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ championship. The French representative also showed careful preparation for this tournament when returning to training just a few days after winning the Champions League title. Coming to the United States, PSG has a full lineup of stars such as Marquinhos, Donnarumma, Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes Vitinha, Hakimi and Désiré Doué. On the opening day against Atletico Madrid, coach Luis Enrique also did not hide his intention to win 3 points when launching almost the strongest lineup of PSG at present.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid had a difficult season in La Liga. The Madrid team only ranked 3rd and was eliminated early in the Champions League. Therefore, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ is considered an important tournament, helping coach Simeone re-evaluate his team and tactics, preparing for the 2025 - 2026 season.

Similar to recent matches, PSG still deployed short, fast passes, relying heavily on the midfielders' excellent ball control. This is considered a "specialty" in coach Luis Enrique's tactics, helping PSG defeat many of the giants of European football. This style of play continued to be effective, helping PSG defeat Atletico Madrid 4-0.
In the first half, PSG almost suffocated the Spanish representative with a possession rate of up to 75%. Kvaratskhelia and his teammates continuously bombarded the opponent's goal with a total of 12 shots - 6 times more than Atletico Madrid. The accuracy of PSG's finishing was very high when half of the shots were on target. At the end of the match, PSG also had a big advantage when leading Atletico Madrid 2-0. The people who brought joy to PSG were Fabián Ruiz (minute 19) and Vitinha (minute 45+1).
In the second half, PSG made many changes in their lineup, playing at a slower pace. However, coach Luis Enrique's players still made Atletico Madrid's goal wobble with their fast-paced attacks on the flanks. In the 87th and 90+5th minutes, Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in scored, helping PSG win 4-0 easily.
