The semifinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have a UEFA Champions League feel to them. Fifteen-time UCL winner Real Madrid and newly-crowned UCL champion Paris Saint-Germain face off in the marquee match of the two semifinals.

The quarterfinals produced a staggering amount of drama, especially on the right side of the draw as Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich and Real Madrid dueled Borussia Dortmund in repeats of recent UEFA Champions League finals. It was the French and Spanish giants who triumphed over their German opponents.

Among the stars competing in the FIFA Club World Cup are Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (Argentina), Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (England) and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, all of whom are expected to star for their countries at the 2026 World Cup.
