Wednesday, July 9, 2025 – MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a stunning performance on Wednesday night, crushing Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Under Luis Enrique’s leadership, PSG now advances to a historic final clash against Chelsea.
🔥 Relentless pressure from the start
The Parisians wasted no time asserting their dominance. Within the first ten minutes, they struck three times—Fabián Ruiz netting in the 6th and 24th minutes, and Ousmane Dembélé adding one in the 9th. Madrid’s defensive mistakes opened the floodgates for a Parisian show of force.
💥 The final blow
Late in the match, Gonçalo Ramos sealed the win with a fourth goal in the 87th minute. In between, PSG continued to dominate possession and rarely allowed Real any space to respond.
🔍 Madrid left in the dust
Real Madrid looked completely overwhelmed. Big names like Bellingham and Vinícius Jr failed to make an impact, while only a few solid saves from Courtois prevented a heavier defeat. The lack of tactical cohesion, widely noted by the media, proved costly for Xabi Alonso’s side.
🔝 A historic final awaits
PSG reaches the Club World Cup final for the first time in its history—a major milestone. They will now face Chelsea, another European powerhouse, for a chance at their first global title.
