This Saturday at 6pm CET (broadcast on DAZN), Paris Saint-Germain take on Bayern Munich at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup. At a press conference, Bavarian coach Vincent Kompany spoke about the match and the Parisian opponent.
Kompany “If I were a player, I’d be looking forward to this game.”
“PSG are an incredible team, there’s no other word for it. Of course they have individual quality, but above all they’re a team that plays with an intensity I’ve rarely seen. If I had to pick one team to face as a competitor, it would be the winners, so we’re lucky to be able to challenge the winners.
“We too have been pretty good in the same aspects, we have the ability to score a lot of goals. If I were a player, I’d be looking forward to this game. It’s going to make sparks fly. Who’s going to have to adapt to the other, the team that won in November or the one that won the Champions League? It’s going to come down to details”, comments relayed by Flashscore.
The Belgian coach is clear: he enjoys tackling a match like this and expects it to be a spectacle. It’s hard not to agree with him. It’s a very high-level encounter between two teams with particularly good attacking weapons. We can expect a lot of pace and good action on the pitch.
There may be a little pressure, and it’ll be a big challenge for every player. But competitions like these encounters, with the need to be at the top of your game when you come up against some of the best. It’s no doubt this determination that he’ll want to pass on to his players. The same goes for PSG.
The match may come down to “details”, but the winner is hard to predict. We can’t wait for kick-off to see some fine teams battle it out for a place in the semi-finals.
