Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni says he’s optimistic the team will end Paris Saint-Germain’s dream of winning the 2025 Club World Cup.
The France international, who joined Madrid from Monaco during the summer of 2022, will rub shoulders with some familiar faces when they go head-to-head with Champions League winners Paris St Germain in the semi-finals at the MetLife Stadium in New York on Wednesday evening.
PSG are chasing a famous quadruple having already claimed a domestic double and the European crown, but Tchouameni is determined that it will be they rather than the Spanish side, who will be heading home prematurely.

“PSG are a good team, with a lot of players I know personally. They’re a top team in world football, recently winning the Champions League. It’s going to be a difficult game, but we have the quality to win it and we have to show that.”
