Two European giants, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, are set to face off in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal on Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium. Both PSG and Real Madrid powered through to the last four - the former topped Group B while the latter bossed Group H. Brimming with confidence on the back of a remarkable campaign marked by the UEFA Champions League title as well as the Ligue 1 trophy, PSG are on the cusp of completing a treble. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, the Parisians are determined to make it happen in the US.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are seeking to resuscitate their campaign. After a rare season without silverware, the Spanish giants are eager to assert their dominance in the Club World Cup. Now coached by former player Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid will eye a record-extending sixth FIFA Club World Cup title.

However, PSG will not be pushovers. With Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia running the wings, PSG's frontline has both pace and bite. Real Madrid counter with its own star-studded arsenal - Vinicius Junior’s flair and Jude Bellingham’s creativity have been central to their campaign so far. With Kylian Mbappe back in the team, Real Madrid's attacking lineup will be sharper than ever.

Coaches Speak

Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid coach: “The tactical battle with Luis Enrique will be a big test for us. We will prepare for the upcoming game [PSG] in a positive spirit after today’s [quarterfinal] victory.”

Luis Enrique, PSG coach: “It doesn’t matter who we play in the semifinals. All that matters is that we are there and that we want to get to the final.”

The FIFA Club World Cup semifinal between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid will be held on Wednesday night at 12:30 AM IST. The match will be played at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Luis Enrique will miss suspended defenders William Pacho and Lucas Hernandez after both were sent off in PSG’s 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the quarterfinal. Lucas Beraldo is expected to be named Pacho’s replacement in the starting XI.

In attack, Dembele is expected to start in the first XI after coming on as a substitute against Munich, with Bradley Barcola moving to the bench.

Gonzalo Garcia is likely to make way for Mbappe, who scored four goals in five appearances in the absence of the French superstar. Earlier in the tournament, Mbappe was hospitalized with gastroenteritis but is now believed to be ready to play.
