PSG Crushes Real Madrid 4-0 to Storm into FIFA Club World Cup Final – Faces Chelsea Next!
In a stunning night of football, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) demolished Real Madrid 4-0 to book their place in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final. The dominant semifinal win at a packed MetLife Stadium was a showcase of PSG’s world-class form, tactical sharpness, and attacking brilliance — setting up an epic final showdown with Chelsea FC this Sunday.
With this victory, PSG continues its dream season, looking to cap off its Champions League glory with a Club World Cup title — a potential first in the club’s history.
🔥 First-Half Frenzy: PSG Leaves Real Madrid Reeling
Under the blistering New Jersey heat — soaring above 90°F (32°C) — PSG came out blazing. Spanish midfield maestro Fabián Ruiz netted twice in the first 25 minutes, while Ousmane Dembélé added one more, capitalizing on early defensive errors from Real Madrid.
In the 6th minute, Real’s backup defender Raúl Asencio delayed clearing the ball in his own box, allowing Dembélé to pounce. Though fouled by keeper Thibaut Courtois, the referee let play continue as Ruiz slotted the opener home.
Three minutes later, a major blunder by Antonio Rüdiger gave Dembélé an open path to goal — and he didn’t disappoint. By the 24th minute, a classic PSG passing sequence sliced through Madrid’s defense again, with Achraf Hakimi assisting Ruiz’s second of the night.
💥 Ramos Seals the Win & Honors Jota
As the match neared its end, PSG forward Gonçalo Ramos added the fourth goal during a lightning-quick counterattack. His celebration — sitting cross-legged with imaginary game controls — paid heartfelt tribute to his late Portugal teammate Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car crash last week.
Despite their lead, PSG never looked complacent — defending with precision even without Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández, both suspended after quarterfinal red cards.
🏆 PSG Eyes Global Glory After Champions League Triumph
Following their UEFA Champions League win earlier in May, PSG is just one step away from completing a historic double. Coach Luis Enrique was full of praise after the match:
“This is a very special moment for all Parisians and our supporters around the world,” Enrique said. “We’ve had an incredible season — and we’re not done yet. That heat was intense, but our players gave everything. We want to win it all.”
With six consecutive clean sheets, PSG is arguably the most in-form club team in the world. Dembélé’s goal was his 35th this season — more than doubling his previous career-best of 14 — making him a strong Ballon d’Or 2025 contender.
💬 Player Reactions: Pride, Passion & Focus
Midfielder Senny Mayulu summed up the mood in the PSG camp:
“It’s a proud moment. You don’t play in a final every day. We’ll enjoy this win but also prepare hard for Sunday.”
Though PSG fans were outnumbered at MetLife by Madrid supporters, their chants rang loud, celebrating what could be a historic season finale.
💔 Farewell to a Legend: Luka Modrić’s Final Madrid Appearance
The night also marked the end of an era for Real Madrid as Luka Modrić made his final appearance in white. The 39-year-old Croatian legend, who played 597 matches and won 28 trophies, will now continue his career at AC Milan.
Real manager Xabi Alonso paid tribute post-match:
“It’s not the goodbye we wanted, but Luka’s legacy is untouchable. He’s a legend — not just for Real Madrid, but for world football.”
