Paris Saint-Germain delivered a commanding performance to dismantle Real Madrid 4-0 in the Club World Cup semi-final at New York’s MetLife Stadium, securing a final showdown against Chelsea. Already crowned European champions, PSG showed no signs of slowing down as they took control of the match early and never looked back.
Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring in the sixth minute, capitalizing on an early error from Madrid’s defense. The pressure mounted quickly, and Ousmane Dembele doubled the lead just three minutes later, pouncing on a miskick from Antonio Rudiger to calmly slot past Thibaut Courtois. PSG’s intensity overwhelmed Madrid during a ruthless 18-minute first-half spell that effectively sealed the outcome.
Ruiz struck again midway through the first half, finishing off a slick move following a precise cut-back from Achraf Hakimi. Real Madrid, already rocked by the pre-match injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold, struggled to find any rhythm. Luka Modric came on for a final appearance in Madrid colours, but it did little to change the tide.
In the second half, substitute Goncalo Ramos added a fourth goal on the break, capping a night of celebration for PSG and underlining their dominance. With a domestic double and the Champions League title already in hand, Luis Enrique’s side now looks to add the Club World Cup trophy to complete a near-perfect season.
PSG’s victory over Real Madrid wasn’t just emphatic it was a statement. As they prepare to face Chelsea in Sunday’s final, the French giants stand on the brink of global glory, aiming to conclude their incredible campaign with one more piece of silverware.
