This Sunday sees the start of the first Club World Cup, with the final scheduled for July 13. Paris Saint-Germain is in Group B, with a first match on June 15 against Atlético Madrid (kick-off 9pm CET, broadcast on DAZN). Here’s the table for the competition, with the groups and places in the Round of 8 for the various qualifiers. Click here for the match schedule.
As in the classic FIFA World Cup, the groups are linked for the Round of 8. PSG, in Group B, will face a team from Group A if they progress. Either 1st or 2nd, depending on where they finish. That would be Al Ahly, Inter Miami, Palmeiras or Porto. Opponents that may seem affordable, but there’s nothing easy about them. We’ve already got to get through the group.
