Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will meet in a pulsating encounter in the other semi-final of the 2025 Club World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the high level of expectation on the pitch, there is also the added bonus of Kylian Mbappe&#8217;s reunion with his former team after the French star joined Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabian Ruiz spoke to the media ahead of the game about the reunion with his former team-mate as well as explaining how they are approaching the game against the &#8216;Merengues&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We know it&#8217;s going to be a great and very difficult game. We&#8217;re coming here with a lot of desire, with a lot of ambition to play a great game and to win,&#8221; said the Spain international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the clash against his former team-mate Mbappe, the PSG midfielder said: &#8220;We know Kylian&#8217;s extraordinary qualities, we know how important he is for Madrid. He has given us a lot. It&#8217;s been a pleasure to play with him and I always wish him the best, except tomorrow when we play against him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That decision is not ours, it&#8217;s Xabi Alonso&#8217;s. We don&#8217;t know who will play. They are a great team, they have great players and we know their quality,&#8221; Fabian said when asked if his former teammate would start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the serious injury to Musiala, who suffered a fractured fibula as a result of a dislocated ankle, the Sevillian said it was &#8220;a difficult moment&#8221;. &#8220;An injury for any teammate is not good. I was involved in the incident, but it was not intentional. We wish Musiala a speedy recovery,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz spoke to the media ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup semi-final clash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-x"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":688,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions\/688"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
