Two European powers go at it with a spot in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final on the line, as Paris Saint-Germain squares off with Real Madrid on Wednesday. Both sides got to this point by playing in a couple of wild quarterfinals last Saturday.

Alonso turned heads when he started a front three of Mbappé, Gonzalo García and Vinícius Júnior. The former Bayer Leverkusen manager gave the left wing, which normally belongs to Vinícius Júnior, to Mbappé, forcing the Brazilian to play on the right.
