**PSG and Bayern to Clash in Club World Cup Quarterfinals**

**Atlanta, USA** – Fresh off their Champions League victory, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set to face Bayern Munich in a highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal match. The clash between the European powerhouses will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta this Saturday, July 4th, at 12 pm ET (16:00 GMT).

PSG reached this stage after progressing from the group stages, despite a 1-0 loss to Botafogo, and then defeating Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16. Bayern Munich secured their spot with dominant performances, including a 10-0 victory over Auckland City and a 4-2 win against Flamengo in the round of 16, despite a shock 1-0 loss to Benfica.

This marks the 15th encounter between the two clubs, with Bayern Munich holding a slight edge with eight wins compared to PSG’s six. Notably, Bayern defeated PSG 1-0 in the 2020 Champions League final.

PSG could see Ousmane Dembele make his first start of the tournament, while Bayern’s Jamal Musiala might feature after recovering from injury. Leroy Sane has departed Bayern for Galatasaray.

The winner of this quarterfinal will advance to face either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals. Bayern Munich are seeking their third Club World Cup title, while PSG are aiming for their first.

“At this stage of the competition, it will be difficult no matter who the opponent is,” said PSG representatives. “We have to be ready for that, but we feel like, on our day, we can beat anyone,” said the Bayern representatives.
