A group of death for PSG?

PSG will know its program for next summer in two weeks. The draw for the group stage of the 2025 Club World Cup, organized from June 15 to July 13 in the United States (mainly in the east of the country), is scheduled for Thursday, December 5 in Miami (1 p.m. on site). , 7 p.m. in France). The 32 participants will be divided into eight groups of four and the top two will qualify for the round of 16 of the event, on the way to the final at MetLife Stadium, in the suburbs of New York.

Fifa has not yet announced the terms of the draw. If the teams are grouped by geographical area, Paris Saint-Germain will be part of the top eight in Europe, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern, Inter and Borussia Dortmund. Enough to avoid an unpleasant surprise at the start. But if Fifa opts for hats bringing together the winners of the continental Champions League, the Red and Blue could thus fall on Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. This would instantly give the group of death this Super-World Club Championship.

PSG will avoid Bayern, Inter and Dortmund

Hat 3, with eight teams from the Old Continent, would be made up of Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter Milan, Porto, Benfica, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Atlético. Finally, the last hat would see Salzburg (the lowest ranked in the UEFA coefficient) with the 4th Asian qualifier, Ulsan, the two best non-champion African clubs, Esperance de Tunis and Mamelodi Sundowns, the two best South American teams outside -winners of the Libertadores, River Plate and Boca Juniors, the best team in the Oceania zone, Auckland City, and the host country club, Inter Miami, first of the season MLS regular (but never champion).
