PSG's most impressive CWC win is a 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in their opener. And after missing an injured Dembele through the entire group stage, he returned to play the final half-hour of a non-competitive 4-0 win over Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the Round of 16, in which PSG scored all of their goals before halftime.

The Bundesliga champions took on Paris Saint-Germain last November in the Champions League league phase and eased to a 1–0 victory. However, the PSG of that night will not be the team Vincent Kompany’s side encounter in Atlanta. Luis Enrique has since evolved his swashbuckling Parisians into the world’s best.
