A glance at the quarter-final line-up for the Club World Cup suggests that whoever comes out on top in the heavyweight last-eight showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich on Saturday will be the favourites to go on and win FIFA's new competition.

Among the stars competing in the FIFA Club World Cup are Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (Argentina), Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (England) and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, all of whom are expected to star for their countries at the 2026 World Cup.

Palmeiras and Chelsea will kick off the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals later today; tomorrow, Saturday, July 5, it’s the clash of the giants as PSG and Bayern Munich go head-to-head in another quarter-final.
