The new format of the Club World Cup has resulted in a tournament that has exceeded expectations. Contrary to expectations, and to the surprise of many, the clubs that participated and those still in contention have taken the competition very seriously, which could take on a similar importance to the FIFA World Cup.

Tickets for the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the other semifinal are still commanding an enormous fee. As of Sunday afternoon, the cheapest available tickets are $195.15 (£142.91), but it’s possible that prices drop before the match kicks off on July 9.

It's the semi-finals of the Club World Cup 2025 from the United States. Four teams enter knowing they are potentially 90 minutes away from competing in Sunday's final, and Flashscore's Frank Monkhouse offers his predictions.
