PSG and Real Madrid are the two strong candidates for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ championship. The upcoming match on July 10 is considered by experts to be the early final of the tournament.

Le Figaro newspaper commented: "This will be an emotional and tense match. Real Madrid is in good form and is eagerly awaiting PSG. Along with that, Kylian Mbappe will have a fight that he himself could not have imagined."

Meanwhile, L'Equipe recalls the painful memories of PSG when the team was eliminated by Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the 2022 Champions League. That defeat marked the end of Mauricio Pochettino's reign at PSG.

L'Equipe also points out that goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will be one of the factors to watch. The Italian goalkeeper has been criticized for his mistakes at the Bernabéu. Currently, Donnarumma has affirmed his talent and is one of the best goalkeepers in the world .

On Sud Radio , the commentator pointed out that Mbappe will "come to this game with a vengeance." This is the first time the France captain has faced his old friends since moving to Real Madrid.

In addition, this battle will not only be between players, but also between two powerful figures in European leadership: PSG's Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Real Madrid's Florentino Perez. These two presidents have had many arguments in the past, especially over the proposal to organize a Super League.

Meanwhile, Le Parisien rated the reunion between Mbappe and president Al-Khelaifi as worth waiting for. PSG's president once criticized Mbappe after the striker sued his former team for unpaid wages. Currently, Mbappe has won the lawsuit but PSG decided to appeal.
