The shock between PSG and Atlético de Madrid, scheduled for June 15, 2025 in Pasadena as part of the Club World Cup, promises to be as intense and burning, both sporting and meteorologically. Contested at the legendary Rose Bowl in an overwhelming heat, the match is already nicknamed the “Pasadena sauna”. This duel is unprecedented in this competition and opposes two European giants with clear ambitions: for PSG, just haloed by a historic hat -trick (Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League), it is a question of continuing its dynamic of domination and becoming the first club to chain the two largest continental and world titles. Faced with him, Atlético arrives with the intention of winning back a major title and winning against a team he had already beaten in the Champions League last season, on a cruel goal at the end of the match.

The context is also marked by a reinforced security system in Los Angeles due to demonstrations planned on the sidelines of the event, but the two coaches – Luis Enrique and Diego Simeone – said they were focused on the ground. The match therefore promises a tense confrontation, in a suffocating setting, between two teams at the top of their art, determined to mark the history of this new world edition. At the microphone of DaznGianluigi Donnarumma was invited to respond to the expected weather which could complicate the meeting: “You will have to see in the field. We have a large team. Today is an important match against a strong team the goal is to reach the end of the competition. It's difficult but you have to do everything to win. It's hot. The team is ready». Parisians are warned.
