The day's action began with one of the group stage's most mismatched games, with six-time UEFA Champions League winners Bayern Munich facing off against the competition's only semi-pro team, New Zealand's Auckland City FC.

Paris Saint-Germain kicked off their 2025 Club World Cup campaign with a hugely impressive 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid. The European champions were far too good for their Group B opponents, who finished the match with 10 men after Clement Lenglet's second-half red card.

Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha scored in the first half, and Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain opened Club World Cup play with a 4-0 victory over Atlético Madrid.
