The stage is set for a thrilling set of quarter-final match-ups at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with eight of the world’s top clubs vying for a place in the final four. European powerhouses clash in marquee fixtures, while South American and Asian giants battle for continental supremacy in what promises to be a high-stakes phase of the tournament.

Here's a look at what to expect from the last-eight ties:

PSG vs Bayern Munich

One of the most anticipated quarter-final clashes features Paris Saint-Germain taking on Bayern Munich in a rematch of the 2020 UEFA Champions League final. PSG arrive in top form, having dismantled Inter Miami 4–0 and boasting eight wins in their last nine matches. The reigning UEFA Champions League winners also lead the tournament in defensive stats and are bolstered by the return of Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola.

Bayern, meanwhile, rode on Harry Kane’s brilliance to a 4–2 win over Flamengo and have history on their side with a 4–0 head-to-head record against PSG. With attacking firepower on both ends, this tie promises to be a tactical and physical contest.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund

Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid look to continue to build momentum after a 1–0 win over Juventus, thanks to a late strike from Gonzalo García. Now on a three-match winning run, Madrid face Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, who progressed with a 3–2 victory over Monterrey. However, Dortmund will be without Jobe Bellingham due to suspension, a major setback as they rely heavily on striker Serhou Guirassy, who scored twice in the previous round.

Fluminense vs Al‑Hilal

Saudi club Al-Hilal pulled off the tournament’s biggest upset by knocking out Manchester City 4–3 in extra time, courtesy of a dramatic winner from Leonardo. They now face Brazilian side Fluminense, who defeated Inter Milan 2–0 with a composed performance. With Cano and Hercules in strong form, Fluminense will be looking to assert South American dominance, but Al-Hilal's momentum makes them a dangerous opponent.

Chelsea vs Palmeiras

This England vs Brazil showdown will see Chelsea, fresh off a 4–1 extra-time win over Benfica, take on Palmeiras, who narrowly beat Botafogo 1–0. With contrasting styles on display -- Chelsea’s pace and physicality versus Palmeiras’ control and flair -- this tie could come down to which side holds their nerve in key moments.

As the quarter-finals get underway, just two victories separate the remaining clubs from a shot at global glory. With legacies, pride, and a place in football history at stake, the coming days promise drama, intensity, and unforgettable moments on the road to the final.
