The kickoff of the clash between PSG and Real Madrid at the MetLife Stadium has been delayed by 10 minutes due to heavy traffic around the venue.

PSG Preview

The European champions arrive on fire. PSG dominated Group B, crushed Inter Miami 4–0 in the Round of 16, and then gave a masterclass against Bayern Munich, proving they’re on a serious mission this time. Under Luis Enrique, the team has shown an ideal mix of order, talent, and ruthlessness.

Real Madrid Preview

On the other side stands the most successful club in history. Real Madrid topped Group H, edged past Juventus with a narrow win in the Round of 16, and came out on top in a thrilling 3–2 against Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals. Despite not playing their best football, Xabi Alonso’s team keeps progressing thanks to experience and quality.

Key Players

One of the standout names for PSG is Ousmane Dembélé, who made the difference off the bench against Bayern and is expected to start this time. He could be decisive from the very first minute.

The big news for Madrid is the return of Kylian Mbappé, who is set to face his former team. But all eyes are on Gonzalo García, the breakout star who leads the tournament with 4 goals and continues to impress.
