Obviously, for many viewers, the matches between Paris and Atletico Madrid in the Club World Cup are of considerable reference value. This 4-0 victory brought unexpected shock to people, far exceeding Bayern's 10-0 victory over Auckland City. Perhaps this shows that the strength of the 24-25 season triple-champion champion has not yet subsided, Paris Saint-Germain is at its peak, and any opponent will fall at their feet.

Simone's Atletico Madrid is good at solid defense, but they only lost one goal less than the Champions League final and were sealed by their opponents. It can be seen that Paris Saint-Germain's malicious intentions are impacting all the championships that can be won, and Atletico Madrid returned empty-handed in the 24-25 season and did not have much expectations for the Club World Cup. The Matthew effect first emerged in this 4:0 game.

There is another way to interpret this 4:0 victory. Those familiar with Paris Saint-Germain's entire 24-25 season journey will know that they performed poorly for a time, encountered strong teams in a row, and were initially defeated by Arsenal 2-0. However, Paris Saint-Germain was as brave as a wild horse in the second half of the season, especially the state and strength shown in the elimination of Liverpool were daunting. In the semi-finals, they met Arsenal again, and they retaliated with their previous defeat with two consecutive victories and regained their face.

Paris Saint-Germain, who once lost to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, missed the revenge because Atletico Madrid was eliminated by Real Madrid in the knockout round. However, the Club World Cup gave Paris Saint-Germain a chance to take revenge, and they won mercilessly with a 4-0 victory. There will always be rewards for efforts. Paris Saint-Germain won the triple crown and stood at the top of Europe. Next, they must regain the face they lost before. Arsenal's past has been concluded, and for Atletico Madrid - thanks to the Club World Cup, it created this opportunity for revenge.

And the next more exciting question is: the teams that defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the 24th to 25th Champions League were almost all hit back by Paris Saint-Germain in the same way, and only one team has not yet received a chance to revenge. So, will Paris Saint-Germain face Bayern in the Club World Cup knockout round?

Indeed, in the first stage of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain lost 0:1 away to Bayern. Both teams then advanced to the knockout stage, Paris Saint-Germain reached the final and won the championship, while Bayern stopped in the quarterfinals and was blocked by Inter Milan. Interestingly, Paris Saint-Germain finally avenged Bayern in the final and defeated Inter Milan.

However, Paris Saint-Germain is more eager to face Bayern and regain its face. Fortunately, Bayern will arrive as promised in this Club World Cup. Considering the state of both sides, it should be no big problem to successfully advance to the knockout stage. As long as the draw is appropriate, the two teams have a considerable chance to meet in the knockout round. Let's wait and see what will happen next.
