Paris Saint-Germain shut down Bayern Munich, reach CWC semis
ATLANTA: Desire Doué scored in the 78th minute, Ousmane Dembele added a second in stoppage time and Paris Saint-Germain sealed their place in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals with a 2-0 quarterfinal win over Bayern Munich on Saturday in Atlanta. Pairs Saint-Germain played the closing minutes with just nine players after a pair of red cards and still added a goal to seal the victory. Referee Anthony Taylor dismissed Willian Pacho in the 82nd minute for his dangerous challenge on Bayern's Thomas Muller, and sent off Lucas Hernandez in the second minute of second-half stoppage time for an elbow in the direction of Raphael Guerreiro. But Doue and Dembele's first goals of the tournament were enough to seal a meeting in East Rutherford, N.J., on Wednesday with the winner of Saturday's second semifinal between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Gianluigi Donnarumma made five saves to keep PSG's fourth clean sheet of the tournament. Bayern exits the tournament after being held scoreless for the first time, on a day when they lost Josip Stanisic and Jamal Musiala to first-half injuries. It was still 11-on-11 when Doue took Joao Neves' pass, created some space near the edge of the penalty area, then unleashed a left-footed strike that found the bottom right corner as Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer slipped while trying to change direction. Dembele doubled the advantage on a stunning foray forward despite the numerical disadvantage and some brilliant setup work by Achraf Hakimi, who beat three defenders off the dribble. Hakimi then fed Dembele in stride for a first-time low finish that left Neuer little chance. Bayern thought they had a chance to pull a late goal back when Taylor whistled for a penalty even later in stoppage time, only to reverse his decision following a video review. Musiala departed on a stretcher at halftime after suffering a gruesome ankle injury following a tangle for the ball with Donnarumma that did not show any signs of ill intent. Even Donnaruma was distraught after seeing the extent of Musiala's injury, which came in the final seconds of the first half. Twelve minutes earlier, Stanisic exited with an apparent hamstring injury. Donnaruma made a pair of exceptional first-half saves. In the 27th minute, he sprung to his right to parry Michael Olize's goal-bound effort from just beyond the corner of the 6-yard box. In the 41st, he sprawled the opposite direction to keep Aleksandar Pavlovic's effort — an intended early cross that was inches in front of Musiala near the penalty spot — from bounding inside the right post. Neuer was also called into action during the first half, thwarting Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's effort from close range at the near post with an outstretched arm in the 32nd minute. Four minutes into the second half, he dove left to deny Bradley Barcola on the break.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winners PSG open up their Club World Cup campaign with a tricky test against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid - and the match is on RIGHT NOW!

And it was a record-breaking Champions League final win as the Desire Doué's double fired the Parisians to a staggering 5-0 victory against Inter Milan. However, Atletico own the current bragging rights as Nahuel Molina and Angel Correa's strikes, fired the La Liga heavyweights to a marginal 2-1 win when the sides last met in November 2024. Follow ALL the action from this Club World Cup match with our live blog below...

Today, 19:28 By Nyle Smith Club World Cup prize money Here is a full breakdown of what each club could earn from every round: *Note: prize money accumulates as a club progresses Group stage (three matches) $2m/£1.4m win or $1m/£746k draw Round of 16 + $7.5m/£5.5m Quarter-final + $13.125m/£9.7m Semi-final + $21.0m/£15.6m Finalist + $30m/£22.3m Winner + $40m/£29.8m Today, 19:12 By Nyle Smith Last time out PSG may have won the Champions League, but their campaign got off to a torrid start and that included a last-gasp 2-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid. Warren Zaire-Emery's opener was quickly cancelled out by the visitors' Nahuel Molina in the first half And then Angel Correa stabbed home the winner three minutes into added time. By Welcome to SunSport's live coverage of PSG vs Atletico Madrid PSG and Atletico Madrid face off tonight in a thrilling Club World Cup contest at the Rose Bowl - and we'll be all over it! This is both clubs' debut at the Club World Cup, but PSG would have been taking part in its old format later this year regardless, after their incredible Champions League triumph at the end of May. And both teams are expected to qualify for the knockout stages after being drawn in Group B along with Botafogo and Seattle Sanders. Enrique's men enjoyed the perfect season, winning Ligue 1 by 19 points, collecting another Coupe de France with consummate ease, before making light work of Inter Milan in the Champions League final, setting a record-high scoreline by thrashing the Nerazzurri 5-0. Those five goals added to a season-long tally of 152 scored by PSG, who were a joy to watch, especially for the neutral, as they have also only kept three clean sheets in their last 12 games. Ironically, they were unable to keep Atletico at bay when they met during the league phase of the Champions League as Diego Simeone's men completed a customary smash-and-grab win over the Parisians at the Parc des Princes. But this is most certainly a more confident PSG side with a dangerous trio of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia up top. However, potential Ballon d'Or winner Dembele is a doubt for this match so Luiz Enrique may have to rethink his starting line-up.
