Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

Rightfully crowned as the best team in European football throughout the season, PSG have been excellent under Luis Enrique. The runaway champions in Ligue 1, PSG followed up their national success by finally lifting the Champions League trophy. The last time out was a 5-0 win over Inter Milan.

Their opponents, Atletico Madrid, had a solid season, sitting narrowly outside of the La Liga title race. Facing a tough test to open their Club World Cup campaign, Atletico come into this fixture on decent form, having scored four goals in three out of their last four games.

Desire Doue will be one to watch in this fixture, the French wonderkid having had a breakout year for PSG, recording 15 goals and 14 assists in all competitions. Doue comes into the Club World Cup on phenomenal form after netting a brace and assisting once in the Champions League final.
