The semifinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have a UEFA Champions League feel to them. Fifteen-time UCL winner Real Madrid and newly-crowned UCL champion Paris Saint-Germain face off in the marquee match of the two semifinals.

Fluminense's coach said before Friday's Club World Cup quarterfinal that 'soccer is decided on the pitch,' not via bank balance. Then they defeated superrich Al Hilal to cruise into the final four.

Hércules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in a Club World Cup quarterfinal match on Friday.
