In the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) qualified for the semifinals by beating Bayern Munich on the 2-0 score in Atlanta. This victory potentially paves the way for a confrontation between PSG and former team-mate Kylian Mbappé, who is competing in the semifinal in Real Madrid. Ashraf Hakimi, PSG’s right side defender, mentioned this possibility in a mixed zone interview after the game. The video summary of the match highlights the performance of the PSG, but also the injury of Jamal Musiala, key player of Bayern Munich, who left the field following a shock with Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany praised his team’s performance while expressing concern about Jamal Musiala’s injury. He pointed out that the match was tight and that the result was able to switch to details, including mistakes and red cards. Kompany also expressed his disappointment and emotion at the injury of Musiala, a player passionate about football and important to the team. He stressed the intensity and high level of the game, while recognizing that football is unpredictable and that the results can vary.

The PSG qualification for the club World Cup semifinals is therefore a major event, which could offer an exciting duel between Ashraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappé. Despite the victory, attention was also paid to Jamal Musiala’s injury, an incident that moved observers and highlighted the physical fragility of football players. The outcome of the semi-finals remains uncertain, but the PSG displayed a determination and quality of play that suggested a competition rich in emotions and twists.
