The quarter-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will include the European champions, Paris Saint-Germain, taking on Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals on Saturday afternoon at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. PSG have carried on the brilliant form from the last few months and is considered by many as the favourites to lift the inaugural revamped Club World Cup. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, has suffered some unwanted setbacks in the tournament so far. The PSG vs Bayern Munich fixture will be one of the most anticipated ones in the competition, which will surely attract plenty of viewership.

PSG will be quite content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six matches, the French champions have managed five victories and a defeat. Luis Enrique has turned Paris into one of the most destructive and fearful machines in world football. Under his leadership, PSG became the first-ever French club to lift the European treble. The players have not let down in the FIFA Club World Cup, annihilating Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16. The club management will be eager to win the competition, which will be a great advert for the club's project.

Bayern Munich will also be quite content with its latest outcomes. The Bavarians have accumulated five victories and a defeat in the last six outings. During this period, Bayern has scored 22 goals and conceded four. Vincent Kompany's men were really taken to the limit by the Brazilian side, Flamengo, in the previous round. If not for Harry Kane's clinical finishing, Bayern Munich could have been subject to a humiliating early exit from the FIFA Club World Cup. The German giants are in a bit of a transitional state right now, and the aftermath of the tournament will see several movements within the squad in addition to those which are already confirmed.

Ousmane Dembele has been given the green light by the club doctors to feature without any issues for the remainder of the tournament. It will be a good headache to have for Luis Enrique in terms of selecting his front three for the quarter-final.

Key Players to Watch in PSG vs Bayern Munich

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Bayern fans will be aware that Harry Kane is the most important piece of the puzzle in the squad right now. At 31 years of age, the Englishman is still at the peak of his powers and is not willing to slow down. Kane has recorded three goals so far in the tournament, two of which came in the previous match against Flamengo. His partnership and chemistry with the rest of the attack have been a blessing for Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff.

Vitinha (PSG)

Amongst the glamour of PSG's front three, it is important not to forget the contributions and necessity of players like Vitinha. Luis Enrique will be glad to have a player like him in his midfield. The Portuguese is a perfect embodiment of what the Spanish coach wants from his players. The 25-year-old will be crucial in maintaining the midfield control for the French champions against Bayern Munich.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Prediction

The upcoming quarter-final fixture will be one for the ages with two highly potent teams involved. PSG, however, has already experienced playing the European elite in the Club World Cup (Atletico Madrid). That will surely give the French side an upper hand over Bayern.
