The earlier kick off on Saturday will see Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain take on fellow European heavyweights Bayern Munich in Atlanta, Georgia.

Later on, Real Madrid will face Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Unfortunately, supporters won't get to see a reunion between brothers Jude and Jobe Bellingham, after the latter picked up a booking during Dortmund's round of 16 meeting with Monterrey and is therefore suspended for this game.


Player to watch 🔍

After missing the early stages of the Club World Cup due to illness, Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé made his return during their round of 16 win over Juventus.

The Frenchman came on as a substitute for the impressive Gonzalo García with 20 minutes left to play.

It was a rather understated cameo, but Mbappé will be determined to play a more integral role against Dortmund.


Must-watch video 🎥

Chelsea fans caught a glimpse of what they can expect from incoming signing Estêvão when they faced Palmeiras in the quarter-finals on Friday.


Fun facts 📊

  • Real Madrid have won four consecutive games against Dortmund, all in the UEFA Champions League.
  • Dortmund have won nine of their last 10 matches, having drawn once.
