PSG Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo |
The European champions Paris Saint-Germain will go head-to-head against South American kings Botafogo at the iconic Rose Bowl in the second leg of Group B. Luis Enrique’s side will look to add more fire following their dominant 4–0 thrashing against Atlético Madrid in round one, but can the Brazilians grab a crucial three points against the European giants?
PSG – The European Champions Eye World Glory
PSG made a seamless arrival in the United States, riding a wave of momentum, and achieved a statement in their tournament opener by knocking down fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid 4-0 on Sunday night. The Ligue 1 champions have now won their last three matches by an aggregate score of 12-0, having cruised to victory in the finals of the Coupe de France and UEFA Champions League. Enrique’s side, who won a treble last season, are apparently still hungry for more silverware. The Parisians are set to be boosted by the return of Bradley Barcola, who is recovering from a minor knee injury. The French winger will be in contention to start, unarguably rotating with teenage sensation Desire Doue.
Ousmane Dembele, on the other hand, remains sidelined as he continues individual recovery work for a muscle issue, making it uncertain for the Ballon d’Or nominee to feature in the match.
In attack, Goncalo Ramos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are expected to maintain their places after their impressive showings in recent games. Kvaratskhelia was involved in two of PSG’s four goals last time out.
On Friday, they will make more history in an already groundbreaking year, becoming the first French club ever to play an official competitive fixture against non-European opponents.
Botafogo RJ – The Lone Star Quest for World Club Supremacy
Botafogo RJ arrives at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup not just as Brazil’s flagbearers but as a resurgent force in South American football. The Brazilian giants would be looking to put up a statement in this match against European champions following an impressive 2-1 win over Seattle in the first round of the 2025 Club World Cup. They have now won each of their last four competitive games, scoring a total of seven goals during the run. A positive result against PSG would not only boost their knockout hopes but also resonate as one of the tournament’s most memorable moments.
