Real Madrid are wary of the threat Paris Saint-Germain possess when the two sides clash in their semi-final encounter of the Club World Cup at the MetLife Stadium here. However, Los Blancos defender Antonio Rudiger believes his team is up for the fight.

“PSG are a very tough team to play against. They’ve shown they’re one of the best teams in Europe. But we’re Real Madrid and we’re ready for the challenge,” Rudiger told FIFA.

The two European giants last faced each other in a last 16 Champions League clash in 2022 which Madrid won 3-2 on aggregate en-route to clinching their 14th UCL title.
