Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
Date: Monday, 23 June 2025
Kick-off Time: 7:00 pm GMT
Venue: Lumen Field, Seattle, United States

The third and final matchday of the group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will include an enthralling face-off between Seattle Sounders and the Champions League winners, Paris Saint-Germain, at the Lumen Field in Seattle on Monday evening. The Major League Soccer club remains in the last spot in the group currently with zero points. No matter what the result against PSG, elimination is already confirmed for the Seattle Sounders. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, is in second place after suffering a shocking 1-0 defeat to Botafogo. The Seattle Sounders vs PSG fixture should be an easy outing for the French giants.

The latest results of the Seattle Sounders have been abysmal. In the last six games, the American outfit has managed just a couple of victories to go with four defeats. Despite this horrendous run of form, Seattle is in a decent position in the Western Conference in Major League Soccer, sitting in the sixth position with 26 points from 18 games. The FIFA Club World Cup will be a decent experience for future endeavors for the players and the coaching staff.

Paris Saint-Germain has been in splendid form recently. The Ligue 1 giants have accumulated five victories and a solitary defeat in the last six outings. During this period, the French champions have scored 19 goals and conceded just three. PSG commenced the tournament with a commanding 4-0 victory over fellow European giants, Atletico Madrid. However, Luis Enrique's men were handed a reality check after suffering a 1-0 loss to Botafogo in the second round. Many still regard PSG as the favourites to go on and lift the tournament. Luis Enrique will be aware that his players will need to prove that claim on the pitch from now on.
