Paris Saint-Germain won the semifinals of the World Cup of Clubs after an intense match against Bayern Munich, marked by the exclusion of two of its central defenders, Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernaendez. Despite this difficulty, Luis Enrique’s team has demonstrated great mental resilience, maintaining its advantage in the score and even scoring a second goal thanks to Ousmane Dembélé. This victory testifies to the collective strength of the PSG, but raises concerns about its ability to face the formidable attack of Real Madrid in the semifinal.

The absence of Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernaendez will impact the Parisian defence, forcing Luis Enrique to consider tactical changes to maintain defensive strength. Lucas Berlado is likely to take their place alongside Marquinhos in the match against Real Madrid. This situation is all the more delicate as the PSG has so far displayed an iron defense, only taking one goal in five matches and achieving four clean sheets.

Real Madrid, in full offensive form, represents a major challenge for the PSG. Attacker Gonzalo Garcia, revealed at this tournament, proved his worth by scoring four goals and delivering a decisive pass. The Madrid attack is particularly formidable, having scored at least three goals in his last four games. The PSG will therefore have to exercise prudence and impeccable defence to hope to overcome this offensive armada and reach the finale.
