The Bundesliga champions took on Paris Saint-Germain last November in the Champions League league phase and eased to a 1–0 victory. However, the PSG of that night will not be the team Vincent Kompany’s side encounter in Atlanta. Luis Enrique has since evolved his swashbuckling Parisians into the world’s best.

Reigning UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain can avenge a defeat that marked their lowest point this past season when they face Bayern Munich in Saturday's FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal in Atlanta.

PSG finished top of the Group B table with two wins and a defeat, losing 1-0 to Brazilian side Botofogo. They made no mistakes in the round of 16 though, making short work of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami side as they ran out 4-0 winners.
