📍 Camping World Stadium, Orlando
Two huge upsets - now the direct duel: Fluminense, the Brazilian Copa Libertadores winners from 2023, sensationally knocked Champions League finalists Inter Milan out of the tournament. On the other side: Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia, who eliminated Manchester City in the round of 16 with their billion-dollar squad featuring Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinković-Savić and Kalidou Koulibaly.
David against David - because despite their star power, there are two outsiders here who have achieved great things. Who will advance to the semi-finals?

Chelsea battled on against Sporting Lisbon - now they face Palmeiras, an opponent who have yet to lose a single game in this tournament.
The Brazilians, currently top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A table, are synonymous with uncompromising attacking football and defensive stability. Chelsea, on the other hand, vacillate between brilliance and chaos. Can the Premier League club stabilize itself - or will it be overrun by the "green giants"?

Champions League winners vs. Bundesliga champions. PSG vs Bayern - it doesn't get much more glamorous than this. Both teams scored four goals each in the last round and presented themselves in top form offensively.
The Parisians want to continue their dominant European campaign on American soil. Bayern - with an in-form Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich in the center - will be looking for revenge for their defeat in the 2020 final.
Who will prevail in the clash of the titans?

Harry Kane scores the decisive goal to make it 4-2.

The Champions League final rematch of 2024 - but Jobe Bellingham is missing. The Real star's younger brother is condemned to watch due to suspension.
Borussia Dortmund want to show that the final was no fluke - especially Gregor Kobel, who shone with saves in the final. But Real Madrid, with VinĂcius Jr, Rodrygo and the defensive wall RĂĽdiger, look unstoppable at the moment.
Can Dortmund upset the favorites again - or will the "royals" put on a show of strength?
