but in my opinion Paris doesn't care that much about that cup, if they did I'd be convinced they'd do it just for the money, nothing more, prestige has little to do with this cup, and it shows, European clubs are playing really below par, not everyone is thinking about winning it, as if it were a Champions League
This competition is indeed different from other competitions, but even though PSG doesn't really care about this cup, I'm sure PSG will reach the semi-finals or even the final of this cup, although maybe PSG won't be so disappointed if they have to go home without bringing the cup. Now PSG only have to think about beating Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and that is a very worthy opponent for PSG, but I'm not so sure Bayern Munich will win that match if PSG can still play at full strength in that match.
I am still confused by those who say this trophy is not important for the team, some even say this is a trash competition. It is strange to think that this competition is not important for a team, especially PSG who just won the Champions League trophy, of course with the Club World Cup trophy it will establish them as the best team today. Moreover, the current Club World Cup with a new format and if I'm not mistaken it is held every 4 years, of course with a competition held every 4 years it is a prestigious competition because it is not held every year.
So I am sure, every team competing in this Club World Cup does not consider this a friendly match or an unimportant competition. all teams competing in this competition have high spirits to be able to win this 4-yearly trophy competition, especially since the prizes obtained from this competition are very large and are enough to be fresh funds to bring in new players to deepen the squad.
