Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid
This match could easily be the final.
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid will meet later today, at 3:00pm ET at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Kylian Mbappe could start in this one after a period of time out for illness. If so he’d be playing his former club for the first time since moving to Spain.
PSG will be looking to build on their Champions League winning form but will have to do so without the suspended Lucas Hernandez and Willian Pacho after they were sent off in the quarter-finals.

CONCACAF Gold Cup 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🏆 ⚽️
USA 1 Mexico 2
The US took an early lead in this one in the fourth-minute through Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards.
However, 23 minutes later Fulham striker Raul Jimenez tied it all up, celebrating the goal by holding up a Diogo Jota jersey. He and Jota had been teammates at Wolves, combining for many goals there.
Mexico were dominant from that point, finding the winner in the 77th minute from an Edson Alvarez diving header.
