Sounders wishing to face the winners of UCL Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the World Cup of the World FIFA 2025
In just a few days, the Sounders of Seattle face their most difficult FIFA club World CupTM Test again.
On Monday, June 23, the team will face the UEFA Champions League Paris Saint-Germain (12:00 pm; Watch Dazn.com | tickets) winners in their third and last group phase match in Lumen Field.
“They are a power plant,” said midfielder Obed Vargas. “We just have to go there and try to compete as best as possible.”
PSG comes out of a 2024/25 monumental season, completing the continental treble with a title Ligue 1, a victory in the French coupe championship and the very first UCL trophy of the club.
This historical achievement follows not only from current staff and players, but the foundation has been built over the years to reach this feat. With their 13 league titles, the team was also crowned with the French Cup champions 16 times and reached the semi-finals and the UCL final on several occasions.
But with people like the player of the Ligue 1 season, Ousmane Dembélé and Morocco International Achraf Hakimi on the list, the team was as dominant as ever last season. The offensive prowess of Dembélé prevail during the year with its 33 goals and 13 assists in all competitions while the nine goals of Hakimi and 12 assists as a defender have demonstrated how much he has an impact at the two ends of the field.
Parisians are a force with which it is necessary to count, to say the least. In addition to Dembélé and Hakimi, seven other PSG players were appointed to the team of season 1 of the season.
“It’s a big team.” said head coach Brian Schmetzer. “I mean, it’s not just about stopping this guy or guy. He is stopping this guy and guy and this guy and this guy, because they have so many talented players.”
It will be an intimidating task for the Green Rave to leave with a victory on Monday. However, the team is ready to fight against the best in the world.
“We must correct these margins of error. These matches are won in these small moments and capitalize in our moments,” said winger Jesús Ferreira. “And so if it is a thumb to mark a goal or a thumb to save the objective, we must improve so that we can make sure that we can take care of business.”
For the moment, it will be a draw that will leave group B after the 1-0 defeat of PSG against Botafogo on Thursday evening. Botafogo currently has two victories, Atlético and PSG have one, and the Sounders are zero.
The probability that rave green moves to direct elimination tours is thin, Atlético needing to lose and Seattle requiring at least one three -goals against PSG. But, the team is determined to put their best foot forward as soon as the first whistle and finish the group phase with another grainy performance.
“To get a result on Monday would be huge,” said midfielder Albert Rusnák. “And although it is [might not] This means a lot in this competition, it can mean a lot so that we go ahead in the league, entering the league. And these kinds of games you probably remember when you retire and have grandchildren and so on. So, yes, it can be a story on Monday, a good story for many years.
