The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is the first tournament to be held with 32 teams on American soil. The presence of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Real Madrid and Chelsea in the semi-finals once again affirms the superiority of teams from the old continent in a world- class cup tournament.
After their explosive performance in the UEFA Champions League, PSG knew how to overcome many great rivals, including Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals. Although coach Luis Enrique's team had only 9 men on the field at the end of the match, they still had enough courage to control the game and win 2-0 in the end. Being in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup for the first time is not an unusual result and the rich team from Paris does not hide their ambition to make a big splash in this world tournament.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continued to prove their mettle as a "giant", fully demonstrating the qualities of a champion in major tournaments, when they reached the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup for the 7th time since 2000. "Los Blancos" won convincingly 3-2 against Dortmund in the quarter-finals, sending a strong message about their determination to conquer the championship title for the 6th time.
In the remaining quarter-final bracket, Chelsea overcame Palmeiras, waiting to face another Brazilian team, Fluminense, to complete the first goal of creating an "all-European" final at the historic World Cup in the US.
Fluminense alone will find it difficult to overcome the "round robin" battle between three European teams, who have reached the semi-finals for the first time since the tournament was expanded to a new format. Will the only non-European team be able to create any other surprises from now until the end of the tournament, or will they soon stop in the battle of wits and strength with Chelsea in the early morning of July 9? The question will not be easily answered until the ball in the first semi-final stops rolling.
