In World Cup history, only 11 players have won both the Champions League and the World Cup in the same year. Currently, Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain still have six players remaining in this World Cup.

All six players are in the France vs. Spain match in the upper half of the draw. The French team has Lucas Hernandez, Zaire Emery, Barcora, Dué, and Dembélé, while the Spanish team has Fabian Ruiz.
