Real Madrid vs Paris Preview of the Club World Cup semi-finals: Who can win this battle of Kings Mountain

The match between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain is the most popular game since the start of this Club World Cup in the United States, no doubt about it. Even in terms of influence, it will far surpass this year's Club World Cup finals. In the hearts of American fans, Real Madrid is synonymous with influence. In the 3 group matches and 2 knockout matches that Real Madrid played, the attendance rate was full. This is a phenomenal performance of Real Madrid. You should know that in this year's Club World Cup in the United States, a large area of ​​seats were vacant in almost every game except Real Madrid.

When Real Madrid wins the 14th Champions League trophy in 2022, Paris Saint-Germain is the stepping stone for their trophy. In the round of 16 knockout stage, Paris Saint-Germain, who has luxurious attackers from Messi, Neymar, Di Maria and Mbappe in the midfield, scored the winning goal in the first leg at his home court. Back at Real Madrid's home court, Paris Saint-Germain still took the lead in the first half with Mbappe's goal. However, the situation changed suddenly in the second half. Benzema, who won the World Footballer that year, led Real Madrid to achieve the ultimate reversal with a strong performance of 2 goals and one assist.

That was that year, Paris Saint-Germain looked back under the continued gold dollar football policy: buying only expensive ones may not be right. Therefore, the team building system with young players as the core began to move towards the forefront. Neymar, Messi and Di Maria all terminated their contracts in 2023, and a new team system with young players such as Dembele, Ramos, Muani, Barcola, Due, and Kvaratshelia has gradually taken shape.

But on the defensive end, Paris maintains a rare stability. In the 2022 two-leg 8th-finals with Real Madrid, Donnarumma is the goalkeeper position, and the four players on the defense are Nunomendes, Kimpenbe, Marquinios and Hakimi. In this year's Champions League final and this year's Club World Cup, except for Pacho who replaced Jin Pengbe, the others have been firmly sitting in the Diaoyutai.

Paris Saint-Germain's old hatred

In the winter window of 2021, one of the biggest rumors is: Mbappe will transfer to Real Madrid in the summer window. Moreover, this rumor has been largely verified by Mbappe himself: he will not renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. That summer of 2022, retaining Mbappe became a consistent voice in Ligue 1 and the entire France. In order to retain the golden signboard of Ligue 1, even French President Macron came forward. Under his cordial care, Mbappe finally agreed to sign a 1+1 contract. However, the initiative is in Mbappe's hands as to whether the contract can be renewed in the second year. At the end of the league in 2024, Mbappe did not exercise the terms of renewing Paris Saint-Germain for another year, but announced his departure to join Real Madrid. That summer, Mbappe, who was worth 180 million euros, completed his identity transformation and realized his dream of achieving the Bernabeu. Since meeting his idol Cristiano Ronaldo in 2015, Mbappe has spent nine years completing his dream pursuit journey that has entered the trajectory of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Paris Saint-Germain's new love

Looking back now, losing to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of 16 in 2022 is the starting point of Paris Saint-Germain's new journey. And the departure of Mbappe, which caused a lot of storms in the world, also echoed the old saying: Lost it and gain it. If Mbappe does not have the will to leave the team firmly, in Paris Saint-Germain's team building system, tactical design around Mbappe is an eternal topic. After Mbappe left the team in 2024, Enrique built a new team with an amazing attack power in the midfield with a more firm team.

In this system, no one can be outside the team system. Balcola, Duais, Dembele and Kvaratskhelia compete for the opportunity to start almost every game. During the game, these forward players must not only change positions frequently but also ensure their proactive defense when taking the position. In this year's Club World Cup, in the five games that Parisien played, except for losing to Bottafogo 0-1, they maintained clean sheets in the other four games, and the number of goals in each game was not less than 2. This data more intuitively demonstrates the success of Paris Saint-Germain relying on this technical and tactical strategy to strengthen teamwork.

Who can win the Battle of Tianwangshan

In the quarterfinals, Paris won Bayern 2:0, but Premier League referee Anthony Taylor planted two mines for Paris: the main central defender Pacho was suspended for red card, and left-back Lucas Fernandez also received a red card and suspended for suspension. In terms of box office appeal, it is also very unfavorable to Paris Saint-Germain. FIFA has spent so much effort to create a game mode that is not recognized by most European teams, and the local American audience is not allowed to face. In the most important last three games, ensuring attendance is Infantino's first indicator.

The starting ticket price for Chelsea vs. Flumenese has been reduced from $473.9 to $14.3 in the floor price. There is no news of a discount on ticket prices in Real Madrid and Paris in this match. FIFA can clearly tell who is the big and big king for Real Madrid's powerful box office appeal.

Personal prediction: Real Madrid 2:1 Paris Saint-Germain, but there is also an atypical result: Paris 2:1 Real Madrid.
