Today we're looking at...Paris Saint-Germain.

This will be the first time PSG have participated in the Club World Cup.

The closest the French side have previously come to anything like the Club World Cup was all the way back in 1975 when they played host to the Tournoi des Paris - a four-way tournament that included South American champions Fluminense and European Cup winners Feyenoord.

How did they perform in the 2024/25 season?

PSG have been the best team in Europe this season, winning the Treble - Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Champions League. Their 5-0 triumph over Inter in the final in Munich was widely hailed as the best performance in the competition in decades.

Who is the coach?

Spanish tactician Luis Enrique serves as PSG's head coach. He was appointed in July 2023 and has since extended his contract until June 2027. Under the former Barcelona boss, PSG have become, arguably, Europe's most complete side with one of the most potent attacks in the world.

Who is their star player?

After adopting a policy of signing the world's most famous players for almost a decade, the French giants have opted instead to go for team cohesion over social media numbers. As such, winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is now arguably their most recognisable name.

Expected performance at the Club World Cup

Despite being drawn in a tough group, if this season's performances are anything to go by, PSG can comfortably be considered one of the favourites.
