Mbappe's Battle of Revenge! Real Madrid Club Paris Cup finals early, new and old hatreds are about to break out!

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals are about to stage a world-renowned showdown - Paris Saint-Germain faces Real Madrid, which has its former scorer Mbappe. This contest, which was hailed by the French media as the "early final", is not only a strong dialogue between the two European giants, but also attracts much attention because of Mbappe's "revenge" mentality and the many grudges and hatreds between the two clubs.

As the most powerful champion contender for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the semi-finals between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are destined to be recorded in history. French Le Figaro commented: "This will be an emotional and intense game. Real Madrid is in a stable state and is full of expectations for facing Paris Saint-Germain. And Mbappe will usher in a battle that even he himself cannot imagine."

"League" reviews the painful memories of Paris Saint-Germain being eliminated by Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League quarterfinals. That defeat not only defeated Paris Saint-Germain, but also directly led to the end of Pochettino's coaching career at Paris Saint-Germain. The old hatred has not yet faded, and the new hatred has come again. This game undoubtedly provides Paris Saint-Germain with the opportunity to revenge.

In addition, Italian goalkeeper Donaluma will also become a major highlight of this game. He was criticized for his mistakes at the Bernabeu Stadium. Now that he has grown into a world-class goalkeeper, he is also full of expectations for how he will face the old place.

Revenge: Mbappe's grudges and love between Paris

According to analysis, Mbappe will welcome this game with a "revenge mentality". This is his first time since he moved to Real Madrid, he has fought with his former teammates on the green field. Previously, the contract renewal between Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain and the club's dispute over his salary payment after leaving the team have laid the groundwork for this game.

This contest is not only a contest between players, but also a power struggle between two heavyweights in European football - Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Algelefi and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. The two presidents have had many disputes over European Premier League proposals and other issues in the past, and this showdown will undoubtedly further intensify the conflict between the two sides.

Le Parisien emphasized that the scene of Mbappe meeting with Algelefi again is worth looking forward to. Previously, Algelefi criticized Mbappe for suing the club for not paying his salary. Although Mbappe eventually won the case, Paris Saint-Germain decided to appeal. This reunion will undoubtedly add more off-court highlights to the game, so that fans can wait and see.

The semi-finals of the Club World Cup are not only a contest of skills and tactics, but also an interweaving of emotions and grievances. Whether Mbappe can lead Real Madrid to defeat his old club and whether Paris Saint-Germain can successfully take revenge will all become the focus of fans around the world.
