PSG Humiliate Real Madrid 4–0 to Storm into Club World Cup Final

KhabriDose.com | 10 July 2025
In a night of stunning dominance and tactical brilliance, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) demolished Real Madrid 4–0 in the semi-final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, held at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. With over 77,000 fans watching, PSG produced one of the finest performances in the competition’s history to secure their place in the final against Chelsea FC.

From the opening whistle, PSG displayed superiority in every department, catching Real Madrid completely off guard. The French champions took just six minutes to open the scoring, with Fabián Ruiz slotting in a low drive after Madrid’s defense failed to clear a loose ball. Just three minutes later, it was Ousmane Dembélé who capitalized on another defensive lapse by Antonio Rüdiger, doubling PSG’s lead and silencing the Spanish fans in the stands.

The pace, precision, and pressing intensity from PSG overwhelmed Madrid’s midfield. By the 24th minute, Fabián Ruiz had his brace, calmly finishing a fluid team move that carved through Madrid’s high line. PSG were 3–0 up and cruising well before halftime, leaving the 14-time European champions in disarray.

Real Madrid, under new manager Xabi Alonso, struggled to respond. Their usual rhythm was nowhere to be seen, and even star forwards like Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé—facing his former club—were effectively neutralized by PSG’s tight defensive structure. Mbappé, in particular, looked out of sync, with PSG fans relishing his quiet night.

PSG’s dominance was not limited to attack. Their defense, led by Marquinhos and Lucas Hernández, showed remarkable composure, cutting off Madrid’s counter-attacks and winning nearly every aerial duel. Gianluigi Donnarumma, in goal, had little to do but was sharp when called upon, maintaining yet another clean sheet in what has been a stellar season for the Italian shot-stopper.

As the match wore on, Madrid’s frustration became evident. Poor decision-making, misplaced passes, and fouls started creeping into their play. PSG, meanwhile, kept their structure and discipline intact. In the 87th minute, substitute Gonçalo Ramos added insult to injury with a well-placed fourth goal, capping off a perfect night for the Parisians.

This result marks PSG’s most emphatic win over Real Madrid and one of the most significant victories in the history of the Club World Cup. The 4–0 scoreline is also Real Madrid’s worst defeat in an official FIFA tournament since 2003. It’s a moment that underscores the transformation PSG has undergone under Luis Enrique, who has turned the team into a cohesive, ruthless unit capable of dominating any opponent on the world stage.

With this victory, PSG advances to the final, where they will face Chelsea, who defeated Brazilian club Palmeiras in the other semi-final. The final is set to take place on Sunday, 13 July 2025, and promises to be a blockbuster encounter between two European heavyweights.

For Real Madrid, this defeat raises serious questions about their defensive setup and big-match temperament. Despite heavy investment and a talented squad, they looked second-best throughout the match and now face the task of regrouping before the new La Liga season begins. The pressure is on manager Xabi Alonso to find solutions quickly and restore Madrid’s fear factor.

PSG, on the other hand, are in dreamland. Having already secured the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France, and the UEFA Champions League, they are now on the verge of claiming an unprecedented quintuple. The club’s revival after the Mbappé era has been nothing short of extraordinary, with players like Dembélé, Ruiz, and Achraf Hakimi stepping up to redefine the team’s identity.

This semi-final performance will be remembered as a defining moment in PSG’s journey—a match where talent, discipline, and hunger came together in perfect harmony. As the Club World Cup final looms, fans around the globe eagerly await to see if PSG can finish their fairytale season with one more trophy.
