The ambitions of Real Madrid and Paris Saint -Germain collide with tonight in a fiery confrontation, starting at ten in the evening, Cairo time, at the “Metlive” stadium in New Jersey City, within the semi -finals of the 2025 Club World Cup, in a meeting with a special nature of the star Killian Mbappe, who faces his former club for the first time since his controversial departure.
A personal match
Mbappe enters the match with motives that exceed the limits of sports competition, as the Spanish newspaper “AS” described the meeting as “settling accounts”, in light of the complex emotional and financial backgrounds that surrounded his exit from Paris Saint -Germain. The meeting represents an opportunity for the French star to restore consideration after witnessing his relationship with the Paris administration and his former coach Luis Enrique severe tensions.
Fire return after absence
Mbappe missed the group stage due to severe intestinal inflammation, but he returned strongly in the quarter -finals, and scored a great goal against Borussia Dortmund, to lead Real Madrid to the semi -finals and confirm his readiness for the major location.
A confrontation between the two contradictions
While Real Madrid ended its season without any local or European title, Paris Saint-Germain succeeded in crowning the Champions League for the first time in its history, after a sweeping victory over Inter Milan 5-0, in a coronation added to the local trio scored by the Parisian team this season.
A continuous financial crisis
Despite his move to Real Madrid, the echoes of the financial dispute between Mbabe and his former club are still standing, as the player demands 55 million euros as late dues, while the Parisian club confirms that the agreement was not a legal boss, which prompted the two parties to resort to the judiciary, so that the confrontation turns into a new chapter of the conflict.
Dramatic dimensions of the match
The summit carries sharp psychological and emotional dimensions, especially in light of the first meeting between Mbappe and coach Luis Enrique, and the tense relationship they gathered during the last two seasons, amid expectations of a struggling confrontation on the field, parallel to what happened behind the scenes throughout the last period.
