Bayern and PSG set for Club World Cup classic

Luis Enrique hoping for one big last push

- 

A glance at the quarterfinal lineup for the Club World Cup suggests that whoever comes out on top in the heavyweight last-eight showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich today will be the favourites to go on and win Fifa's new competition.

Real Madrid can never be ruled out, but the Spanish giants are a work in progress under new coach Xabi Alonso before playing Borussia Dortmund today in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, PSG came to the United States fresh from winning the Uefa Champions League in style in Munich at the end of May, and Luis Enrique's side have eased their way to the quarterfinals despite a slip-up against Brazil's Botafogo in the group stage.

Bayern finished second in their group behind Benfica but the manner with which they disposed of Flamengo in the last 16, with Harry Kane scoring twice in a 4-2 victory, showed that the German champions mean business.
