Results So Far
So far, the 2025 Club World Cup has been an exciting tournament, with lots of unexpected results during the group stage and the initial knockout rounds. South American teams shocked some of the biggest European teams, showing fans the level of soccer played outside of Europe. Here are the biggest results from the knockout stages:
Round of 16
-
Inter Milan 0-2 Fluminese
-
Manchester City 3-4 Al-Hilal
-
Palmeiras 1-0 Botafogo
-
Benfica 1-4 Chelsea
-
PSG 4-0 Inter Miami
-
Fluminense 2-4 Bayern Munich
-
Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Monterrey
Quarterfinals
-
Fluminense 2-1 Al-Hilal – Brazilian Serie A side Fluminense overcame Al-Hilal in the quarterfinals, despite having fewer shots and lower possession. Their 2 goals came either side of the half time break. Although Al-Hilal had shocked Manchester City in the previous round, they were unable to get it done against the Brazilian club.
-
Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea – Palmeiras topped Group A but couldn’t get past Chelsea despite drawing level in the 2nd half. The Premier League side were too good, with more possession and shots throughout the match.
-
PSG 2-0 Bayern Munich – The current UCL Champions got one step closer to the final thanks to a strong win against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. PSG had fewer shots and lower possession, but made their chances count. However, a bad injury to Jamal Musiala and 2 red cards for PSG overshadowed the result.
-
Real Madrid 3-2 Borussia Dortmund – In a replay of the 2024 UCL final, Real Madrid emerged victorious against Dortmund once more. This time, Dortmund threatened a late comeback, with 2 goals in injury time. However, a late winner from Mbappe sealed the win, even after Huijsen was sent off.
Club World Cup Predictions & Picks to Win
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain started the competition as 4th favorite, but they’re now the betting favorite according to the current odds. They’re a great pick as the tournament is usually won by the winners of the UEFA Champions League. PSG had a dominant performance in the UCL final and have also looked comfortable in the Club World Cup so far. Their attacking lineup of Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks difficult to stop. However, both Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez will be suspended due to red cards picked up in the quarterfinal.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of the Club World Cup, so it’s no surprise that they’re the current 2nd favorites according to the latest betting odds. They have some of the world’s best players, such as Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior, although they failed to win a trophy so far this season. Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid topped their group in the competition and have looked relatively comfortable during the knockout rounds. However, they suffered a scare late on from Dortmund, and they’ll need to beat PSG to reach the final.
Chelsea
Chelsea came 2nd in their group, behind Flamengo, but they’re now in the semi-finals and are the 3rd favorites to win the tournament. They comfortably brushed past Benfica before beating Palmeiras in the quarters. Chelsea have some excellent attacking talent, including Cole Palmer, but their squad doesn’t quite have the talent that Real Madrid and PSG have, especially in defence and goalkeeper positions.
Fluminense
While the odds are fairly even between PSG, Real Madrid, and Chelsea, Fluminese are outsiders, according to the sportsbooks. Still, they’ve had a decent tournament and are in the semi-finals on merit. They came second in their group behind Dortmund before beating Inter and Al-Hilal in the knockout rounds. They’re captained by former PSG star Thiago Silva and they have the talented attacking midfielder John Arias, who is currently the 2nd favourite to win the tournament’s Golden Ball award.
Golden Ball Winner
Aside from betting on the overall winner of the Club World Cup, you can also make your predictions of the player who will be awarded the Golden Ball. This trophy is reserved for the best player of the tournament. Although it’s often given to the top player on the winning side, it can sometimes end up with a player from the losing finalist or even a player from a team that didn’t reach the final.
The Golden Ball is awarded based on overall performance and impact throughout the tournament, not just the most goals scored. Currently, the favorites for the award are:
-
Vitor Ferreira (Vitinha) – PSG
-
John Arias – Fluminense
-
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – PSG
-
Achraf Hakimi – PSG
-
Jude Bellingham – Real Madrid
-
Desire Doue – PSG
-
Vinicius Junior – Real Madrid
