Luis Enrique's PSG have been sensational during this tournament, with the reigning European champions creating so many chances and dominating games. They did have a tough time against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, but they got the job done, as they always seem to. Still, they did have two players sent off late on and that could impact them for this semifinal. PSG are the red-hot favorites to win this competition and it feels like they are destined to dominate the club game for years to come.

Real Madrid have really settled in to their new 3-5-2 formation under new manager Xabi Alonso and were pretty comfortable in their quarterfinal win against Borussia Dortmund. Well, until the final few minutes when they almost imploded. Kylian Mbappe is pushing hard to start as he's recovered from his stomach issue and there will be so much focus on the former PSG striker before, during and after this massive semifinal.
PSG team news, focus
Luis Enrique has lost both Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez to suspension after they were sent off in the quarterfinal against Bayern. Lucas Beraldo will likely come in to start for Pacho at center back and the only other selection dilemma Enrique has is whether to start Ousmane Dembele up top. Dembele came on and scored against Bayern and now he's back from injury it's likely he starts this game ahead of Bradley Barcola.

Real Madrid team news, focus
Xabi Alonso has a couple of big decisions to make in terms of his starting lineup. Dean Huijsen is suspended after picking up a red card late on against Borussia Dortmund. The young center back has been excellent in his first few games for Real Madrid but he will miss this huge match and Raul Asencio is likely to come in. Kylian Mbappe scored a beauty late on against Dortmund after coming off the bench and he will surely start against PSG. Young forward Gonzalo Garcia has been a revelation up top, scoring four goals in five games so far to lead the competition in scoring. But this is Mbappe. Against PSG. He has to start. David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga and Endrick remain out injured.
PSG vs Real Madrid prediction
This is going to be a classic. You can just feel it. PSG will press high and try to dictate the tempo and Real are just fine with making the most of space on the counter. Hold on to your hats. PSG 4-3 Real Madrid.

Chelsea vs PSG: Head-to-head record ahead of FIFA Club World Cup final
Football fans are in for a treat as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) lock horns in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final this Sunday, July 13, at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. It's a clash of titans, with Chelsea hunting their second global crown and PSG dreaming of their first. Let's break down their past battles to get a sense of what's coming. A Fierce European Rivalry These two clubs have crossed paths eight times, all in the UEFA Champions League, with their last meeting back in 2016. It's been a tight contest every time, full of drama and narrow margins. Here's how they stack up: Matches Played : 8 : 8 Chelsea Wins : 2 : 2 PSG Wins : 3 : 3 Draws : 3 : 3 Chelsea Goals : 11 : 11 PSG Goals: 10 Their rivalry kicked off in 2004 during the Champions League group stage. Chelsea ran riot in Paris, winning 3-0 with John Terry nodding one in and Didier Drogba bagging a brace. The return leg at Stamford Bridge? A gritty 0-0 draw. Fast forward to 2014, the quarter-finals saw PSG take a 3-1 lead at home, only for Chelsea to flip the script with a 2-0 win in London, sneaking through on away goals thanks to Demba Ba's late heroics. Things tilted PSG's way in 2015 and 2016. In '15, a 1-1 draw in Paris and a wild 2-2 at Stamford Bridge sent PSG through on away goals, with David Luiz and Thiago Silva delivering clutch headers. The next year, PSG swept the last-16 tie, winning 2-1 in both legs, with Zlatan Ibrahimović stealing the show. It's clear: when these two meet, it's anyone's game. Recent Form and Key Players Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, have been rock-solid in this tournament. They eased past Fluminense 2-0 in the semi-finals, with João Pedro stepping up as the surprise star, scoring twice. The Blues have been lethal on the break, netting six goals from quick counters, and their defense hasn't let in a single first-half goal all tournament. PSG, under Luis Enrique, have been a juggernaut, racking up 10 first-half goals, including a 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid in the semis. Ousmane Dembélé, fresh off an injury, has been electric, pulling the strings in attack. But PSG face a defensive headache with Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez suspended, which could give Chelsea an edge. Chelsea get a boost with Liam Delap and Levi Colwill back from bans, though Moisés Caicedo's ankle issue is worth watching—he's likely to play, though. Expect Pedro Neto's speed and Cole Palmer's flair to test PSG's high-pressing style. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Angels slip past Diamondbacks 6-5 on d'Arnaud's RBI single in ninth
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Travis d'Arnaud hit a pinch-hit RBI single down the left-field line in the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Logan O'Hoppe was hit by a pitch with one out against left-hander Kyle Backhus (0-1) before Luis Rengifo singled and d'Arnaud delivered in place of Gustavo Campero. Zach Neto and Yoan Moncada each hit home runs in the first inning for the Angels, while Nolan Schanuel and Rengifo each had three hits as LA improved to 7-3 against NL West teams this season. Randal Grichuk hit a pair of home runs and drove in three runs as the Diamondbacks dropped to 3-7 since July 2. Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson gave up four runs on seven hits with four walks over four innings, while Los Angeles left-hander Tyler Anderson gave up four runs on eight hits with two walks over five innings. Neto and Moncada powered a four-run first inning for the Angels, while the Diamondbacks followed with a four-run second that included Grichuk's home run and a two-run double from Alek Thomas. After Rengifo gave the Angels a 5-4 lead with a double in the fifth inning, Grichuk tied the game with another home run in the eighth. Kenley Jansen (3-2) pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the Angels. Angels catcher O'Hoppe, who was shaken up when Thomas scored on a slide in the third inning, walked and stole second base with two outs in the fifth ahead of Rengifo's RBI double. Neto has seven leadoff home runs, all this season, and tied the franchise record previously held by Brian Downing (1987). Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (7-9, 5.15 ERA), who is much improved over his last two starts, will take the mound Saturday opposite Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (3-6. 3.02), who is his club's only All-Star. ___ AP MLB:
