  • 58'
    GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL FOR ATLETICO! Julian Alvarez kick-started the visitors' response with a well-taken shot from inside the box, following a brilliant pass from Giuliano. A reminder to PSG that they can't afford to switch off.

    GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL FOR PSG! Vitinha finds some space at the penalty spot and slots home to extend PSG's lead just before half-time.
  • 45'
    Three minutes added!
  • 42'
    The Spaniards still have plenty of scope to turn things around in the match, as although PSG have been far superior, the lead on the scoreboard remains narrow.
  • 40'
    Diego Simeone's men will need to make plenty of adjustments at half-time if they're to get back into the game—and, more importantly, come from behind to take the lead into their next challenge in the United States.
  • 37'
    Ramos once again causes Oblak plenty of trouble. PSG keep pressing forward time and again.
  • 35'
    PSG are playing at a significantly higher level than Atletico, which comes as a surprise despite the French side's recent victories, given that the Spaniards are a well-established European outfit. In fact, this match has been touted as a potential Champions League final.
  • 33'
    Atletico are having a tough time clearing the ball from their own box. They're far from comfortable out there.
  • 31'
    The match has been paused for a cooling break as temperatures soar and the sun beats down relentlessly. We'll be back shortly.

  • 19'
    GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL FOR PSG! Fabian Ruiz, who's in outstanding form, breaks the deadlock with a strike from outside the box following a pass from Kvaratskhelia.
  • 17'
    What a couple of fine efforts from PSG! Ramos and Kvaratskhelia carve out promising chances from close range to put their side ahead, but Oblak is quick to thwart them, as is the Atletico defence.
  • 15'
    PSG are the stronger side right now, but they're hardly pulling off anything spectacular. The ball's being passed from one side of the pitch to the other without any clear purpose.
  • 13'
    De Paul goes to the ground after a coming together with Desire Doue as he tries to defend the Frenchman's run. What a great battle we've got unfolding on the pitch! The Argentine is back on his feet without any issues.
  • 11'
    We're seeing very little from the Spaniards at the moment as they're struggling to get out of their own half. They'll need to show a lot more if they're to overcome PSG.
  • 9'
    The sun is blazing down on the Rose Bowl Stadium, but both sides are moving comfortably across the pitch. Play continues as normal until Giuliano goes to the ground, seemingly caught with a blow to the face.
  • 7'
    Luis Enrique's side are completely bossing possession at the moment, with 80% of the ball.
  • 5'
    The French are poised to hit back after Atletico's early pressure! Hakimi sparks the break, and the ball finds Kvaratskhelia, but his effort goes wide! PSG are beginning to turn the screw.
  • 3'
    Free-kick to Atletico! Alvarez steps up to take it from around 30 yards out and curls it towards the far post – not far off at all!
  • 1'
    PSG get us going in dark blue from left to right, while Atletico are in red and white!

  • PRVW
    There is no room for doubt and excuses under the Argentinian, who demands total commitment regardless of whether reinforcements arrive. They will aim to give a good account and go as far as possible.
  • PRVW
    Atletico approach this Club World Cup with both excitement and ambition. It is a short tournament – a setting in which Simeone's sides usually thrive.
  • PRVW
    Their run to the quarter-finals secured a place in the last 16. However, a disastrous March saw them crash out of all three competitions, and their competitive edge vanished in the final stretch of La Liga.
  • PRVW
    The Rojiblancos started the campaign strongly, staking their claim in every competition. They were even crowned winter champions after winning in Montjuic against Barcelona, and rose from their ashes in the Champions League with a stunning win away to eventual winners PSG.
  • PRVW
    The tournament presents a new title opportunity for Atletico Madrid, who will be aiming to become the first winners of the revamped format and mask past slip-ups.
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid will look to heal the wounds of a difficult season through the Club World Cup.
  • PRVW
    But the rewards for success in the Club World Cup are enticing and should be enough to keep Luis Enrique's squad focused on their objective, with up to a stunning $125 million in prize money on offer for the best-performing European team if they manage to go all the way.
  • PRVW
    They did not manage to add any new players to their squad during the brief transfer window that opened at the start of this month, ahead of the tournament - reported interest in Bournemouth's Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi did not turn into anything concrete.
  • PRVW
    The strain of such a long campaign is telling, with Ousmane Dembele - their top scorer this season with 33 goals - struggling with an injury picked up playing for France last week.
  • PRVW
    Expected to qualify for the knockout phase without too many issues, PSG could end up playing a total of seven matches if they make it all the way to the final in New York on July 13 - just a month before their scheduled first game of next season in the UEFA Supercup against Tottenham Hotspur.
  • PRVW
    PSG's opening game will be against another European heavyweight as they take on Antoine Griezmann's Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, just outside Los Angeles, on Sunday.
  • PRVW
    But there is simply no time to stop and reflect. Many of their players, including Champions League final hero Desire Doue, spent last week on international duty before returning to their club and departing for Los Angeles, where they will begin their Club World Cup adventure this weekend.
  • PRVW
    PSG have played 58 matches since last August and also swept all the available domestic trophies in France this season as has become the norm in recent years.
  • PRVW
    There had been numerous agonising failures in Europe's elite club competition, as well as billions of euros spent on transfer fees on stars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, prior to captain Marquinhos raising the trophy aloft.
  • PRVW
    The Qatar-backed French giants could be forgiven for wanting some time to bask in the glory of their 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich, which allowed them to finally win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
  • PRVW
    The French giants are treating FIFA's lucrative new competition not as a nuisance at the end of an exhausting season but as a serious objective.
