PSG vs Atlético Madrid: World Club Cup Clash Kicks Off Soon - Team Lineups Revealed

The highly anticipated clash between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Atlético de Madrid is set to kick off shortly (21:00), marking both teams’ debut in this year’s Club World Cup. Here are the lineups for this exciting match.

Just 15 days after their Champions League triumph, PSG is back in action. What better way to resume competition than in the Club World Cup against Atlético de Madrid? This matchup comes just over seven months after a painful defeat for PSG at the Parc des Princes against the Colchoneros in the Champions League (1-2). The Rouge et Bleu now have a chance for redemption against Antoine Griezmann and his teammates.

Manager Luis Enrique has made it clear: the goal is to win this inaugural edition of the Club World Cup in its new format. Therefore, he is fielding a strong starting eleven, despite having to consider the fitness of certain players, particularly Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola, who are sidelined due to injury. Both players had to leave the French national team camp prematurely last week.

Diego Simeone is also opting for a strong lineup, as the winner of this match will take a significant step towards qualification for the knockout stage. Griezmann is, of course, in the starting eleven, along with Jan Oblak, who had frustrated Parisian attackers in their previous Champions League encounter. The Slovenian goalkeeper was named man of the match in that game.
