PSG, the "monster," declares a new era.
In just the first 24 minutes of the match, PSG turned their clash with Real Madrid into a walk in the park, scoring three goals through Fabián Ruiz (a brace) and Ousmane Dembélé.
The French team completely controlled the game thanks to their fast-paced style of play, seamless coordination, and highly effective high-pressure pressing under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique.
Towards the end of the match, Gonçalo Ramos sealed the 4-0 victory, bringing to a close a nightmare night for the Spanish Royal team .
Despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé due to fitness issues, PSG still performed like a perfectly functioning machine.
The midfield, with Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz, not only controlled the ball but also dictated the tempo of the game extremely effectively.
The two wingers, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, constantly breached Real's defense, creating tremendous pressure throughout the 90 minutes.
Gareth Bale, former Real Madrid player, commented: “PSG is like a team built for long-term dominance – young, uncompromising, and always ready to hurt their opponents.”
With this victory, PSG are close to winning their fourth major title in 2025, having already won Ligue 1, the French Cup, and the Champions League. Including the French Super Cup, they could complete a season without a single trophy – something unprecedented in the club's history.
Luis Enrique also became the first coach to win the treble with two different clubs in his career (Barcelona and PSG). His team successively defeated Inter Milan (5-0), Atletico Madrid (4-0), Bayern Munich (2-0 with only 9 men) and now Real Madrid (4-0) – a series of achievements that have amazed football fans.
Real Madrid collapses, Alonso promises a new beginning.
For Real Madrid, this defeat marks their heaviest loss in the Club World Cup – a tournament in which they had never lost a match before.
Coach Xabi Alonso, who was recently appointed after a disappointing season under Carlo Ancelotti, has decided to revert to a four-defender formation instead of the five-man defense – a system that had helped Real Madrid play very solidly in previous matches.
However, this choice proved to be a mistake given the absence of Dean Huijsen (suspended) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (injured) in the defense. PSG quickly exploited the space, scoring two goals within the first nine minutes and completely dominating the game.
After the match, coach Alonso admitted: “We conceded two goals too early and couldn’t regain our composure. This defeat is really painful, but sometimes we need to see our mistakes to learn and prepare better for the future.”
The former Spanish star also confirmed that a squad overhaul will be carried out after the summer break, not ruling out the possibility of adding some notable new signings: “We will begin a new era, with new people and a new spirit. The goal is to build a cohesive team that doesn’t depend on individuals.”
Despite Mbappé's 48 goals and assists in the 2024/25 season, Real Madrid ended up empty-handed in all competitions, something that hadn't happened in a decade.
Furthermore, this match was also Luka Modrić's last in a Real Madrid shirt, concluding a 597-match career before joining AC Milan.
The PSG vs Chelsea final will take place at 8:00 PM (BST) on Sunday, July 13th at MetLife Stadium – where the two most elite representatives of European football will decide the world club champion.
It will be a clash between a devastating PSG and a young, enthusiastic Chelsea team featuring João Pedro, Palmer, Nkunku, and a host of quality new signings. A night that will decide history awaits.
Notable statistics
• PSG have won their last five knockout matches in all competitions with a combined score of 18-0 – a phenomenal run of form.
