PSG has a quarter-final encounter against Harry Kane's Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup. The French champions will want to get a win over a side that beat them in the league phase of the Champions League. Whoever takes the game more seriously will end up winning the tie, as this tournament has been full of shock results.

Man City losing to 3-4 Al-Hilal is a shock considering how well Man City did in the group stage of the competition. The Al-Hilal players wanted it more than Pep Guardiola's side, as they don't get to face European sides very often. They are facing a Bayern side that didn't top a group that consisted of Benfica, Boca Juniors, and Auckland City. The Bavarians have a few French players who will want to prove themselves against PSG.

Luis Enrique's side is in for a tough game against a side that has been the dominant force in German football. It will be interesting to see who takes the game more seriously, as that could go a long way to determining who will win the encounter.

Here's our preview of PSG vs Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup.
