Day 19 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday, July 5 delivered European heavyweight showdowns, as PSG stunned Bayern Munich and Real Madrid edged past Borussia Dortmund to book their places in the semi-finals.
Paris Saint‑Germain 2–0 Bayern Munich
PSG secured a hard-fought 2–0 win over Bayern Munich at the Mercedes‑Benz Stadium in Atlanta, overcoming adversity and maintaining composure when it mattered most. After a scoreless first half, Désiré Doué broke the deadlock in the 78th minute with a clean strike, giving the French Champions League winners the lead.
It was one of those stomach-churning moments when, within seconds, you know something has gone badly wrong.
Jamal Musiala was writhing in agony, but what really hit hard was the way players on both teams were reacting to the Bayern Munich forward’s injury.

Dortmund earned a penalty in the 98th minute, which Serhou Guirassy converted, and saw Madrid hit the woodwork with the final action—though goalkeeper Courtois made a crucial fingertip save on a late Bayern effort.
