Paris St Germain face Real Madrid on Wednesday (kick off 9pm SA time) for the right to play Chelsea in the Fifa Club World Cup final. Much of the talk ahead of this clash of two European titans has understandably centred around Kylian Mbappe, the French superstar striker who left PSG to join Real at the start of the 2024/25 season.

PSG faced Bayern Munich and scored in the 78th minute to take the lead. Despite losing William Pacho and Lucas Hernandez to red cards, they scored a second in stoppage time to secure their passage into the semi-final.

Luis Enrique's side will never take a club like Real Madrid for granted because of the calibre of players the Spanish giants have at their disposal. These two would have faced each other in the semi-finals of the Champions League had Carlo Ancelotti's side (at the time) knocked out Arsenal.
