The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has reached its business end, with the quarter-final stage promising high-stakes clashes between some of the biggest clubs across continents. After a gripping set of group stage and early knockout fixtures, eight clubs are now poised to battle it out for a place in the semi-finals and a shot at global supremacy.This year’s tournament, being staged in the United States, has drawn global attention not just for its star-studded teams, but also for its expanded format. The quarter-finals will feature teams representing different confederations, including the likes of Al-Hilal, Fluminese, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.Despite some of the European heavyweights making it to the last 8, there have been some unbelievable upsets in the Round of 16 as well.
Al-Hilal pulled off a near-impossible win over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, while Fluminese upset UEFA Champions League finalists Inter. While the fact remains that Real Madrid, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are all left in the competition, there remains the possibility that a club outside Europe may take home the top prize.
