PSG vs Real Madrid preview
PSG are just two wins away from completing one of the greatest seasons in the history of club football. Luis Enrique’s men have had a historical season to date and could still make more history by winning the FIFA Club World Cup.
PSG came into the FIFA Club World Cup, having won four trophies, including the French Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League, where they outclassed Inter Milan in the final.
Coming into the Club World Cup, one could have understood if they decided to take their foot off the gas. However, that is not Enrique’s PSG, as they have shown in this competition that they are indeed the best team in the World, at least on paper.
The Parisens are now just two wins away from proving it on the pitch, and they can take a giant step towards it by beating Real Madrid in the semifinal.
Having beaten Bayern Munich in the quarterfinal, the French Champions face another stern test against another European giant.
It is definitely a challenge PSG will fancy as they have beaten some of the best teams in the world this season.
Aside from the surprising 1-0 loss to Botafogo in their second group game, PSG have been brilliant to watch in this competition.
They dispatched Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami in the second round and beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarterfinal.
So far, they have passed all their knockout round oppositions with ease and will be looking to replicate the same performance against Madrid.
Real Madrid, however, are a different kettle of fish. Los Blancos have been improving game by game under Xabi Alonso, who took over from Carlo Ancelotti this summer.
After playing a draw in their opening game against Al-Hilal, Madrid have won all subsequent games, including the 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinal.
However, if they are to beat PSG, they will need to deliver a convincing performance. Despite beating Juventus and Dortmund in the second round and quarterfinal, respectively, Alonso’s men were not the better side.
In fact, Juventus could have won if they had been more clinical in the first half. However, this is a familiar theme with Real Madrid, as they do not necessarily need to play well to win.
It is what Alonso was brought in to correct, but so far, Real Madrid still show that they are a vulnerable side.
The good news for Madrid, though, is that they appear to have PSG’s number, having won four of their last seven meetings against the French champions.
