Paris Saint-Germain beats Seattle Sounders 2-0 to reach Club World Cup round of 16
by Naharnet Newsdesk 24 June 2025, 17:22 Paris Saint-Germain didn't allow a single shot on goal as the European powerhouse beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Monday and advanced to the Club World Cup round of 16. Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring in the 35th minute when a shot from Vitinha that would've finished well wide of the net hit teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and deflected in. The UEFA Champions League winners scored again in the 66th minute as the Sounders' transition defense broke down. Seattle failed to locate Achraf Hakimi, who was wide open by the back post. Bradley Barcola's pass found him with plenty of time to control and strike. Paris Saint-Germain won Group B on a goal-differential tiebreaker after Atlético Madrid defeated Botafogo 1-0. The 68,740-capacity Lumen Field was lively with 50,628 fans. Key moment Jordan Morris returned to the pitch for the Sounders for the first time since April to a massive home-crowd ovation. It was a meaningful moment for fans as Morris, who grew up in the area, played a key role in helping his longtime franchise qualify for the Club World Cup. Takeaways Paris will play the runner-up of Group A on Sunday in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Seattle has been eliminated from the cup. What they said "I think it was a great match, difficult for us, tough from the beginning because Seattle played a great match with intensity and quality on and off the ball. I think all the supporters enjoyed the show, and I like the way we play." — Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique "This has been one of the, I would say, toughest parts of my career in terms of missing this tournament. So much of the excitement around this year was this tournament. ... You drive around, see yourself on the bus (ads), you want to be out there playing. Watching these guys compete and do so well in this tournament, I just wanted to be out there to try to help. … But I'm looking forward to what's to come this year." — Morris

Mbappe expected to return from illness against Salzburg at Club World Cup
by Naharnet Newsdesk 23 June 2025, 17:19 Kylian Mbappe will likely return Thursday against Salzburg after being sidelined from Real Madrid's first two Club World Cup games, according to coach Xabi Alonso. Alonso told The Associated Press, after the team's 3-1 win over Pachuca on Sunday, that he is "looking forward to have him back. We need to go day by day." Mbappe experienced an acute case of gastroenteritis and was discharged from the hospital Thursday. Mbappe missed the Spanish giant's opening game of the tournament — a surprise 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in Miami — because of a fever. Real Madrid academy forward Gonzalo Garcia stepped up to fill Mbappe's absence during the group stage, scoring his team's only goal against Al Hilal and also starting against Pachuca. The French international's debut at the Club World Cup is highly anticipated as one of the tournament's biggest stars. Mbappe was the highest scorer for Real Madrid last season, scoring 43 goals in official appearances. Real Madrid needs only a draw against Salzburg to guarantee advancement to the knockout rounds in their last Group H game Thursday.
