Before flying to New York City, where the last three games will be held, the Paris Saint-Germain team preferred a recovery session in Atlanta. Four players, Fabian Ruiz, Gabriel Moscardo, Ashraf Hakimi and Presnel Kimpembe, dropped out of this collective training, staying in the room for reasons of caution. This measure, confirmed by RMC Sport, comes after a difficult semifinal qualifying of the World Cup of Clubs against Bayern Munich, a victory gained in pain and which left physical traces. The team, led by Luis Enrique, is now preparing to face Real Madrid in the semifinal, a challenge that requires optimal recovery for key players.

The qualifying for the semifinals of the World Cup of Clubs represents a considerable financial boost for Paris Saint-Germain. The victory against Bayern Munich at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta has enabled the club to receive nearly 65.6 million euros since the start of the competition, thanks to the gains in participation and performance. These gains are structured into two categories: minimum participation and bonuses related to progress in the competition. This qualification also offers additional financial perspectives, with 25.4 million euros in the event of a semifinal victory against Real Madrid, and 33.9 million euros in the event of a final victory.

In preparation for the semifinal against Real Madrid, which will take place on 9 July at 9 p.m., the Parisian delegation will move to Pingry School, New Jersey, before joining New York and the MetLife Stadium. This preparation phase is crucial to allow players to recover physically and mentally, and to focus on the task to be accomplished. Qualifying for the semifinals, and potentially the final victory, help strengthen the financial position of the PSG and consolidate its status as one of the richest and most successful clubs in the world.
