These two clubs met for the very first time back in November, with Atleti fighting back from a goal down to prevail 2-1 at Parc des Princes, thanks to Ángel Correa's 93rd minute winner. Will this go the same way?
Paris Saint-Germain vs Atlético Madrid preview
Having been crowned champions of Europe for the very first time, many are tipping Paris Saint-Germain to become champions of the world this summer. Last month, PSG finally got their hands on the Champions League trophy, recording the most dominant result in European Cup Final history, demolishing Inter 5-0 in Munich. Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu all scoring, while Désiré Doué bagged a brace on an historic night in Bavaria.
Having also picked up yet another domestic treble, Luis Enrique's team have won every competition they've entered this season, so will this trend continue? Well, les Rouge-et-Bleu's performances en route to Champions League glory has led to many tipping them to go all the way here too, certainly expected to get through the group stages, facing Botafogo and then Seattle Sounders after this. So, will les Parisiens make a winning start to their Club World Cup escapade at the Rose Bowl?
Well, this won't be an easy opener, with Atlético Madrid not a team who can be taken lightly, despite enduring another trophyless campaign. Los Colchoneros were top of La Liga on 12 January, but needless away defeats at Leganés, Getafe, Osasuna and Las Palmas ultimately saw them fall away, finishing third, 12 points adrift Barcelona. Meantime, in the Champions League, Diego Simeone's side were dumped out by the usual nemesis Real Madrid, this time ousted in the round of 16 on penalties.
Thus, this has, so far, condemned los Rojiblancos to a fourth successive season without silverware, dating back to when they won La Liga in 2021. Thus, Simeone's team are motivated to make a deep run stateside this summer, but certainly kick off in California on Sunday as underdogs.

Ousmane Dembélé has scored 33 goals this season, 28 of which have come since 15 December, so will his hot-streak continue stateside this summer?
Atlético Madrid team news
In contrast to his opposite number, Diego Simeone certainly likes to tinker with his lineup a lot more, making his XI significantly tougher to predict. For Atleti's most-recent match, away at Girona on 25 May, he heavily rotated, but Jan Oblak, Robin Le Normand, José María Giménez, Marcos Llorente and Giuliano Simeone are amongst those forecast to return.
Atlético Madrid predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain: (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Giménez, Galán; Koke, De Paul, Giuliano, Gallagher; Griezmann, Álvarez.
Atlético Madrid player to watch vs Paris Saint-Germain
Alexander Sørloth ended the season absolutely on fire, scoring four against former club Real Sociedad, before bagging a hat-trick off the bench at Montilivi last time out. So, despite the fact the Norwegian centre-forward scored 24 times during his debut campaign at Atleti, he's likely to once again begin as a substitute.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Atlético Madrid prediction
We are backing PSG for victory at the Rose Bowl. Atlético are a solid team who will go far this summer, but les Parisiens are likely to be too strong in Pasadena: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Atlético Madrid.
