The Rose Bowl in Los Angeles is set to host the only match-up between European teams on Matchday 1 of the 2025 Club World Cup. PSG, who are in great form after winning the treble including the Champions League this season, will play Atletico Madrid on Sunday (Monday morning IST).
The winner will take a key step in their quest to finish at the top of Group B, which also includes the Seattle Sounders and Botafogo.
Having not won an international title since 2018, when they won the European Super Cup against Real Madrid, Atletico have an opportunity this summer to make a qualitative leap.
Coach Diego Simeone will look to his World Cup winners (Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo de Paul, and Julian Alvarez) and world-class players from Antoine Griezmann to goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
PSG, for their part, arrive in the United States still on a high after their remarkable Champions League final victory over Inter, but Luis Enrique's team will need to remain focused.
With Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal, Marquinhos and Willian Pacho in defence, Vitinha in midfield, and the fearsome attacking trident of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the big question is who can stop them?
According to Parimatch, PSG are favourites for this one with a win for the French champions paying 5/6, while an Atletico victory rises to 3/1. A draw, meanwhile, is at 29/10.

Over 2.5 goals in the match: (1.74, Dafabet)
PSG have proven in the Champions League that they currently have the best attack in all of Europe. In their last six wins, Luis Enrique's team has scored at least two goals per match and a total of 18 goals overall, averaging three per game. Meanwhile, although Atletico are often considered a team preoccupied with keeping a clean sheet, their three most recent wins have all been by landslide: 4-0 against Real Sociedad, 4-1 against Betis and 4-0 against Girona. With Doue, Griezmann, and Alvarez all on show, the Rose Bowl is preparing for a thrilling clash.
Desire Doue to have Over +1.5 shots on target: (1.17, Parimatch)
Doue's current form is unbeatable. In addition to his three titles, he has become a key player in Luis Enrique's team at just 20 years old, something demonstrated in the Champions League final against Inter, where he added two goals and an assist. The youngster is always aggressive in front of goal, especially given the potential for this match: the almost certain absence of Dembele. Without the team's top scorer this season, Doue's options will be plentiful, and his two shots on target would give you a handy return.
