Bayern Munich will look to reach the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals when they face reigning UEFA Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta on Saturday 5 July (6pm CEST).

Bayern booked their place in the last eight with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Brazilian outfit Flamengo in Miami on Sunday. Harry Kane struck twice, while Leon Goretzka and an own goal completed the scoring.

One major difference for head coach Vincent Kompany is that winger Leroy Sané is officially no longer at the club following his transfer to Galatasaray.

However, the return to fitness of Jamal Musiala, who suffered a knock on Matchday 2 against Boca Juniors and appeared as a substitute at the weekend, means Bayern still have plenty of options in attack, with Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry likely to start given that Kingsley Coman limped off with an injury against Flamengo.

PSG, meanwhile, breezed past Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the round of 16 courtesy of a 4-0 win, with João Neves scoring twice, former Borussia Dortmund right-back Achraf Hakimi finding the back of the net and a Désiré Doué cross forcing an own goal.

That was their third win in four matches at this tournament; their group stage loss against Botafogo the only result tarnishing an otherwise perfect record.

Fellow Dortmund alumni Ousmane Dembélé made his tournament bow in that clash, coming on from the bench, and could be in line to start against Bayern. Other familiar faces amongst the PSG squad include centre-back Willian Pacho, formerly of Eintracht Frankfurt, and ex-Bayern defender Lucas Hernández.

#### Battle of the coachesLuis Enrique has transformed PSG into European Champions, with their free-flowing game attracting plenty of admirers. However, his record against Bayern Munich currently stands at: three games, one win and two losses. One of those losses came in 2015, when he was manager of Barcelona, while the other was this season's 1-0 loss in the Champions League. With that being the only managerial meeting between him and Vincent Kompany so far, the Belgian has history on his side going into this mouthwatering clash.

#### Beginner's luck?This is PSG's first ever appearance at the Club World Cup, and they'll be looking to go all the way and pick up the trophy at the first attempt. If they were to do so, it would join their Ligue 1, French Cup, French Supercup and Champions League trophies in their silverware cabinet, all of which were won in 2024/25.

#### Bundesliga influenceThere is a wealth of Bundesliga experience amongst the PSG squad, all coming from a handful of players. Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi, formerly of Klassiker rivals Dortmund, are arguably the most notable of those, alongside the World Cup winning Hernandez, while former Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho was also a key cog in PSG's recent Champions League win.

#### The danger men: Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé lead the chargeThere are several players that can hurt Bayern in this PSG team, such is their strength in depth. Their front three of Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are almost unstoppable at times, with their direct dribbling and quick combination play giving defences far and wide sleepless nights last season. Likewise, their midfield has three players of exceptional quality, with Vitinha pulling the strings from midfield alongside João Neves and Fabian Ruiz.

#### Harry Kane: "We can beat anyone""It’s going to be another difficult match against PSG, they’ve had an unbelievable season. We already played against them this season and came out on top. We have to try to take the energy and the good feeling into this match. We know it’s going to be difficult but we feel like we can beat anyone when we’re at our top level. We need to recover well now and prepare.”

#### InseparableIt's not only intense encounters that these two clubs have shared over the years, but also some top class players. The aforementioned Coman is one player that has donned the colours of both clubs, as is Lucas Hernandez, who is currently at the Parisian side having joined from Bayern in 2023. Juan Bernat, Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting and Tanguy Nianzou are the other players to have represent both sides.

#### We meet againThese two sides have met each other 14 times in total over the years, the first of which came in the 1994/95 UEFA Champions League season. The most memorable of those 14, however, was the 2019/20 Champions League final, which saw Bayern lift the trophy after a tense 1-0 victory, with former PSG youth product Kingsley Coman scoring the only goal of the game. Their most recent meeting came in the 2024/25 edition of the tournament, with Bayern again recording a 1-0 win over them, although this time it was Minjae Kim that scored the winner.
