3 of these 4 names are from Europe: Real Madrid, PSG and Chelsea. This shows the clear dominance of old continental football in this year's tournament. Meanwhile, Fluminense is the only representative of South America, bringing the last hope of Brazilian football.
According to the draw results, Fluminense will face Chelsea in the first semi-final. In theory, Chelsea has a superior squad and better squad depth. However, Fluminense are not an easy opponent to overcome. With their stable form since the beginning of the tournament, the Brazilian team can create a surprise if they take advantage of the opportunity and force Chelsea to make mistakes.
The remaining semi-final will be the top clash between PSG and Real Madrid - a confrontation that is considered the "early final" of the tournament. After eliminating Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, PSG continues to face a big challenge called Real Madrid. An interesting highlight is the reunion between Kylian Mbappe and his former team.
The two semi-final matches are scheduled to take place at 2:00 a.m. on July 9 and 10 (Vietnam time).
