Meeting statistics

The current form of Paris Saint-Germain FC

The most dangerous team in world football right now is PSG. Any game can be completely changed by the French side’s depth of attack. Désiré Doué, Kvichi Kvaretshkelia, and Ousmane Dembélé now make up the most exciting offense in European club football, maybe even beyond. Even the most disciplined backline can be put to the test by Luis Enrique’s firepower. With fast switches and overloads out wide, PSG should control possession and try to knock Atlético off of their groove. They have the speed and accuracy to penalize any mistake if they can isolate the rival’s strikers 1v1 or find space behind their wing-backs.

We wouldn’t be shocked if Luis Enrique changed in terms of personnel or shape. The Spanish team will want to cause errors by pushing backward passes or stealing balls in order to trap PSG out wide. Since Luis Enrique has frequently chosen not to begin with a traditional number nine in their system, crosses into the box are uncommon. Here, that might be different.

The current form of Club Atlético de Madrid

In a competition dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona’s wealth, Atlético are consistently the underdogs. Nonetheless, Simeone’s management approach has allowed him to succeed on the red side of Madrid. Some of the top teams in the world are often frustrated by his tight defense, diligent midfield, and skill at counterattacking play.

Never before has this been more evident than when these sides last met. Even though the home team had an incredible 72% possession rate, Atlético overcame PSG 2-1 in Paris. The hosts made more than twice as many passes and had 22 shots, nine of which were on goal, as opposed to the rival’s four and three. Simeone and “Colchoneros” (Mattress Makers) have the tactical acumen to counterbalance this PSG team’s amazing attacking flair.

Head-to-head

The last time these teams faced each other was during the League stage of the Champions League in November. Ángel Correa scored the game-winning goal with the final kick, giving Atlético a thrilling 2-1 victory.

This match was the only official match between these two. They met twice more in friendly internationals: PSG won once, while one game ended in a draw.

Match analytics

Despite PSG’s season-long success, this game is to be closer than the odds indicate. Over the past four months, the European champions have appeared invincible, putting on a show in the second part of the season as they advanced to the UCL final. However, since a number of their players played in the final competition of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League, the French team may be more impacted by the recent international games.

It all boils down to execution in the end. PSG might generate enough to seize the initiative if they can handle the pressure and stay composed. However, Atlético could once again demonstrate that discipline is superior to flair if Simeone’s strategy works, and they take advantage of their limited opportunities. That’s what we’re betting Atlético will do, but not without receiving a goal.
