With the final 32 of the Club World Cup, the reunion of eight teams that had met in the Champions League this season has attracted attention. Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid will reenact the fourth round of the Champions League match - at that time, Simeone's team overturned Paris 2-1; Manchester City and Juventus in Group G were going to end the 6th round of the Champions League, when Juventus defeated the Blue Moon 2-0 with Chiesa's bracelet.

Bayern in Group C, Benfica, Real Madrid and Salzburg Red Bull also had intersections in the Champions League: the Bundesliga class bulls defeated the Portuguese powerhouse 1-0, while Real Madrid swept the Austrian team with a huge gap of 5-1. It is interesting that the Club World Cup system adopts single-game elimination, which is different from the Champions League home and away double cycle, which means whether Paris can take revenge on Atletico Madrid and whether Manchester City can rewrite the defeat against Juventus will be decided within 90 minutes. When the Champions League script meets a new competition system, these fateful duels are brewing new variables.
