The quarter final of the World Cup of Clubs between the PSG and Bayern Munich, scheduled for Saturday, July 5, 2025 at 18:00 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, will be arbitrated by Anthony Taylor. Considered one of the most experienced referees, he will have more than 400 games in the Premier League and has already supervised eight PSG matches in the Champions League. Some attention is paid to this designation, in particular because of a controversial episode in the last Euro where he missed a penalty in favour of Germany against Spain. The outcome of this match is uncertain, but Taylor’s arbitration promises to be a key element of the match.

As this crucial game approaches, Bradley Barcola highlighted the collective strength of the PSG in 2025, characterized by an ego-free team spirit where each player is ready to excel for the common good. He highlighted the availability of all players and the collective’s ability to compensate for any individual absences. This mentality, praised by the staff and feared by the adversaries, is a major asset for the PSG, which addresses the shock facing the Bayern with an affluent unity and determination.

In addition, Ousmane Dembélé is expected to return to the eleven of Luis Enrique for this quarter final. After an injury to his left thigh, he said he was fully prepared to help the team and make the same after the welcome rest after the match against Inter Miami. He expressed his motivation to face the Bayern, while acknowledging the quality of the German team and affirming the PSG’s desire to redeem himself after his victory in the Champions League. Dembélé is clear about his state of shape and leaves the decision of his tenure to the coach, but shows a determination to help the team pass this round of competition.
