Manchester United and Manchester City have the most representatives in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals. Both clubs have 11 players in the Quarterfinals. Despite the fact that Manchester United are not among the top four in the 2022 Premier League season, it is clear that their players are performing well. Paris Saint-Germain are third on the list, with eight representatives. This demonstrates why the French Giants are among the top European clubs this season, despite the fact that they have yet to lose a game in the Ligue 1 and Champions League this season.
Both Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam have seven players. Despite the fact that Germany has been eliminated from the tournament, it is incredible to see Bayern Munich take the top spot, despite the fact that the majority of Ajax players are playing for the Netherlands. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Arsenal, Sevilla, and Barcelona are the other clubs with the most representation in the Quarter Finals. These clubs each have six players in the Quarterfinals.Liverpool is the only club from the top six Premier League teams that did not make the list, owing to the fact that the majority of their players did not compete in the tournament.
However, which of these clubs do you believe will have the most representatives in the finals?

Croatia's Lovren braces for another clash with nemesis Neymar
Croatian defender Dejan Lovren is bracing himself for another confrontation with his old nemesis Neymar as the country prepares to face World Cup favorites Brazil in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Lovren, 33, has faced Neymar three times and lost all three times, with the unstoppable Brazilian scoring four goals against him.
Brazil defeated Croatia 3-1 in a World Cup group-stage match in 2014, with Neymar scoring twice, and he scored in a 2-0 win at Anfield a week before the start of the World Cup in Russia in 2018.Croatia and Brazil have met five times, with the South Americans winning three times and drawing twice.
However, Lovren's most painful memory will be Liverpool's 2-1 loss to a Neymar-inspired Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage in 2018.
Neymar scored the game-winning goal and put on a masterclass in Paris that night, with Lovren struggling to keep up with him.
While Liverpool had the last laugh that season, putting that loss behind them and going on to win the Champions League, Lovren all but disappeared from Juergen Klopp's starting lineup for the rest of the competition, only making the starting lineup once more.On Friday, however, Croatia will face more than just Neymar, with young Brazilian stars Vinicius Jr, Lucas Paqueta, and Richarlison all rising to the occasion and shining for Brazil at this World Cup.
Lovren, who typically starts as a right-side centre back, will be assisted by RB Leipzig prodigy Josko Gvardiol.
Gvardiol, 20, has been outstanding for Croatia so far, making a number of goal-saving tackles to keep his team in games.
Indeed, Croatia has only allowed two goals in four games in Qatar. On Friday, they will face their most difficult challenge yet: stopping the Brazilian juggernaut.
