PSG and Real Madrid will meet on Wednesday for one of the most anticipated matches of the season, as the team coached by Luis Enrique will face the Spanish giants and former PSG star Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to start. PSG are in a great form and after winning the Treble this season, which also included their first ever Champions League win, the French giants are in a good spot to become the first winners of the new format of the FIFA Club World Cup while Real Madrid failed to win a trophy this season and the summer tournament is their last chance to lift one this year under the new coach, Xabi Alonso. Here are the storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

Player to watch
Gonzalo Garcia, Real Madrid — The Spanish striker has been the surprising name of the tournament so far, as the 21-year-old has scored four goals in the Club World Cup for Real Madrid. While French star Mbappe is expected to be back in the starting 11, Xabi Alonso will also consider starting with the Spanish player in that role, considering how well he has performed so far.
Storyline to watch
Hakimi faces his past — The Moroccan player grew up in the youth team of Real Madrid before moving to Borussia Dortmund, Inter and PSG, where he won the Champions League this year. Real Madrid, despite having a buy-back clause at Dortmund and Inter, decided not to sign him back over the years. Hakimi will face his former team on Wednesday, with an extra motivation to show them again why they made the wrong decision.
Prediction
PSG are the frontrunners to win the tournament and cap a remarkable season with another trophy. Real Madrid remain a difficult opponent, but with a new manager and a team in transition, they may need more time to hit their peak potential. Pick: PSG 2, Real Madrid 1.
