Club World Cup: 9-Man PSG Beat Bayern Munich 2-0, Advance To Semi-Final
Paris Saint-Germain reached the Club World Cup semi-finals by defeating Bayern Munich 2-0, thanks to goals from Doue and Dembele. Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Club World Cup semi-finals as goals from Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele secured a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in a thrilling encounter on Saturday. The European champions, despite being reduced to nine men with the dismissals of Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez in the closing stages, managed to overcome the German giants in Atlanta. The Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich lost Jamal Musiala to a severe ankle injury just before half-time, in a match that was intensely contested by both sides. Prior to this defeat, Bayern had won their last four matches against PSG, including a 1-0 win in the Champions League last November, but Luis Enrique's team reached their peak performance in this game. The match began with a poignant moment as players and the nearly 67,000 spectators observed a minute of silence for Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who tragically died in a car crash on Thursday. This was particularly emotional for PSG, who have five Portuguese players in their squad, including starters Vitinha, Joao Neves, and Nuno Mendes. Luis Enrique opted to start with Ballon d'Or candidate Dembele on the bench, as he continues his recovery from a quadriceps injury, while Bayern's playmaker Musiala was fit to play following a calf issue. The clash at FIFA's expanded tournament was highly anticipated, with Bayern coach Vincent Kompany describing it as a 'perfect storm" due to the teams' similar high-pressing, attacking styles. The air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Stadium provided ideal conditions for the game, which featured skilled dribblers and elite goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Manuel Neuer. Georgia international Kvaratskhelia forced Neuer into an excellent close-range stop after Bradley Barcola played a ball to him, and the winger surged inside. Donnarumma was again called into action, reacting swiftly to block Aleksandar Pavlovic's low cross intended for Musiala. Dayot Upamecano's header from Olise's free-kick was disallowed for offside in first-half stoppage time, and Harry Kane came close for Bayern with a narrowly missed header following Kingsley Coman's fine work. How Bad Is Jamal Musiala's Injury? Musiala suffered a gruesome ankle injury before half-time after a collision with Donnarumma, leaving the goalkeeper visibly distraught. In the second half, Neuer made a sensational save to deny Barcola as he ran through on goal. With 20 minutes remaining, Luis Enrique sent on Dembele to make a difference and avoid extra-time. Dembele nearly succeeded when Neuer's error allowed him to shoot at an empty net, but his effort went just wide. Doue eventually broke the deadlock after Kane lost possession, allowing PSG to attack in numbers. Doue created space on the edge of the box and scored with a low strike at the near post. Bayern's hopes of an equaliser were boosted when PSG defender Pacho was sent off for a high tackle on Leon Goretzka after 83 minutes. Kane headed home from an offside position before PSG's substitute Hernandez was dismissed for an elbow. Dembele hit the crossbar on the break, but finally sealed PSG's victory by scoring after Achraf Hakimi's run and paying tribute to Jota with a video-gaming celebration. PSG will face either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals on Wednesday at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. First Published:

5 things to look out for as Club WCup kicks off
ATLANTA: Despite concerns over ticket sales and player fatigue, FIFA's new expanded Club World Cup will throw up several intriguing storylines this summer in the United States. AFP Sport picks five things to look out for on the pitch as teams compete to conquer the world and claim their share of $1 billion in prize money. Messi back in the spotlight Former Barcelona great Lionel Messi has spent the last two seasons at MLS side Inter Miami but the Club World Cup pits him against European opposition once again. The 37-year-old superstar still possesses supreme quality but there are question marks over whether he and former top level stars Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets can seriously compete against the cream of the crop. Inter Miami face Porto in their second group match in Atlanta, a team Messi has faced once before, beating them with Barca in the UEFA Super Cup back in 2011. Messi also featured against Porto in a friendly with Barca back in 2003, which was his first ever appearance for the club at 16 years old. If he nets at the tournament, Messi would become the oldest ever Club World Cup goalscorer, while both he and Suarez trail the competition's all-time top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, by two goals. A new stage for Doue Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final romp over Inter Milan was inspired by thrilling forward Desire Doue, who turned 20 earlier in June. His spectacular burst into the limelight over the past few months means he is one of the players to watch this summer at the Club World Cup. He struck twice in the final against Inter as well as setting up another goal and drew comparisons to Spanish starlet Lamine Yamal, who will not be playing this summer as Barcelona did not qualify. PSG's opening clash against Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles immediately gives Doue another stage to shine on as the world at large continues to discover his immense talent. Revamped City Pep Guardiola's Manchester City endured a poor season by their lofty standards and immediately took action in the special transfer window to bolster their squad for the Club World Cup. The Abu Dhabi-owned club have already splashed more than £100 million ($136 million) on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. With holding midfielder Rodri also returning to fitness after injury, City are hoping they can step up their game significantly. French 21-year-old attacking midfielder Cherki is an exciting talent looking to show his quality at the top level. 'I really believe he can become a world-class player with our support and direction,' said City's director of football Hugo Viana. South American threat While Europe's elite are at the end of a long, hard season, South American clubs are midway through their campaigns and will be energized. They have long revered the competition to a far greater degree than European sides, as it represents the chance to face the very best teams in the world. Fans who do not regularly follow South American football can look forward to discovering some of the most exciting emerging talents in the world. River Plate's Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono will join Real Madrid after the tournament, while Chelsea-bound striker Estevao Willian is hoping to end his time at Brazilian side Palmeiras with a bang. Atletico hunger Atletico Madrid ended the season trophyless despite looking like potential contenders in Spain and Europe. Diego Simeone's side are proud of having reached the tournament ahead of La Liga rivals Barcelona and the coach has not hidden his desire to succeed this summer. 'I hope we can advance in the Club World Cup and lead Atletico Madrid to a privileged position,' said Simeone. Atletico have not won a single trophy since lifting La Liga in 2021 and their last success outside of Spanish football came in 2018 with Europa League and UEFA Super Cup wins. Their elimination by Real Madrid in the Champions League after Julian Alvarez's controversial 'double-touch' penalty was disallowed sent them into a spiral, which they only managed to shake off in the final weeks of the season, after their chances of success had vanished. — AFP
