Two weeks on from their record-breaking UEFA Champions League final win over Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain are back in action at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid are in the opposition corner and typically revel in taking football’s big shots down a peg or two. They now have PSG in their sights.
Luis Enrique’s side hammered Inter Milan 5-0 at the Allianz Arena 15 days ago, the biggest ever margin of victory in a Champions League final.
Atleti will hope to provide a more robust challenge, just as Simeone’s teams did against Luis Enrique’s Barcelona in the middle of the previous decade.

1 hour before kickoff: Goncalo Ramos gets the nod at centre-forward for PSG in Ousmane Dembele’s injury absence. Otherwise, it’s the familiar team that romped through the business end of the Champions League.

1 hr 10 mins before kickoff: Time to get you up to speed with the team news. Julian Alvarez starts for Atletico despite playing both of Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers last week. Marcos Llorente will have to try to repel the ravenous PSG attack from right-back.

1 hr 30 mins before kickoff: We’re expecting a closely contested affair here (yes, I know we said that about PSG’s previous game) but there’s nothing of the sort going on in Ohio. Jamal Musiala has just scored his second of the game from the penalty spot to put Bayern Munich 8-0 (EIGHT-NIL) up against tournament outsiders Auckland City. Vincent Kompany’s team already have the record victory margin in Club World Cup history pretty much sewn up. Feels like it’s been a really solid use of everyone’s time.

PSG vs. Atletico Madrid lineups, team news
Star forward Ousmane Dembele withdrew from the France squad last week after sustaining a knock in their UEFA Nations League semifinal defeat to Spain.
Bradley Barcola suffered his own complaint during that camp and is also absent from the matchday squad.
In their absence, Portugal striker Goncalo Ramos starts, perhaps a player well-suited to the robust proposition of Atletico. But Luis Enrique has had so much success of late playing without a fixed centre-forward over recent months.
If the PSG boss wants to revert to that gamit than Kang-in Lee might feature from the bench.
PSG (4-3-3, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes —Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz — Doue, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
PSG subs: Matchday squads released one hour before kickoff
Simeone appears to have a clean bill of health but must run the rule over his Argentina internationals. Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo De Paul and Julian Alvarez each started both of La Albiceleste’s recent World Cup qualifiers. Only Molina rests among the substitutes as Marcos Llorente gets the nod at right-back.
Javi Galan starts at left-back, a position Simeone seems set on bolstering amid reports linking the capital club to Liverpool mainstay Andy Robertson.
Atletico captain Koke, now 33, is a survivor from the teams that jousted with Luis Enrique’s Barca in the middle of the last decade, and starts on the bench.
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2, right to left): Oblak (GK) — Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Galan — Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Lino— Alvarez, Griezmann
Atletico Madrid subs: Musso (GK), Gomis (GK), Gimenez, Azpilicueta, Gallagher, Koke, Sorloth, Correa, Lemar, Molina, Riquelme, Martin, Witsel, Reinildo, Kostis
