Real Madrid vs. PSG: A fiery clash in the Club World Cup semi-finals.

VHO - The quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 witnessed two spectacular clashes between European giants, where Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) respectively overcame Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich to set up dream semi-final matches. However, alongside the beautiful plays, the two matches also saw serious injuries, red cards, and breathtaking drama until the very last minute.

Garcia became Real Madrid's breakout star at the Club World Cup, despite having only played six games for the club before that.

Real Madrid won a thrilling 3-2 victory over Dortmund.

Real Madrid got off to a great start against Dortmund in New Jersey. After just 10 minutes, Gonzalo Garcia continued his excellent form by scoring with a volley after a cross from Arda Guler.

Less than 10 minutes later, Fran Garcia extended the lead to 2-0 from a cross by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Just when it seemed everything was settled, Maximilian Beier, coming on as a substitute, unexpectedly rekindled hope for Dortmund with a goal that reduced the deficit to 1-2.

Just minutes later, Kylian Mbappe scored with a spectacular volley, but the drama didn't end there. Dean Huijsen, the center-back who had just come on, fouled Serhou Guirassy in the penalty area and received a red card.

Guirassy successfully converted the penalty, sealing the match with a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid.

Nevertheless, the victory was enough to help Kylian Mbappe and his teammates advance to the semi-finals, where they will face PSG. Gonzalo Garcia also moved to the top of the scoring list with 4 goals, level with Angel Di Maria and Marcos Leonardo (both of whom have been eliminated).

Desire Doue's second-half goal was his 16th of the season across all competitions.

PSG overcame Bayern in a dramatic match.

In Atlanta, PSG entered the match against Bayern Munich with high determination. However, the game was soon overshadowed by a serious injury to Jamal Musiala, the young star who had just returned to Bayern's starting lineup.

Following a collision with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Musiala clutched his ankle in pain and may be sidelined for an extended period.

After a goalless but goalless first half, the deadlock was broken in the 78th minute when Desire Doue – PSG's hero in the Champions League final – unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that beat Manuel Neuer.

The drama continued to escalate when Willian Pacho received a direct red card for a high tackle on Leon Goretzka. Later in the match, Lucas Hernandez was also sent off for elbowing Raphael Guerreiro in the face.

Despite being down to nine men, PSG sealed a 2-0 victory thanks to Ousmane Dembele's goal in injury time. Earlier, Dembele himself had hit the crossbar. Bayern also had a Harry Kane goal disallowed for offside, and VAR intervened to cancel a late penalty.

The match also marked the farewell of Thomas Muller, who came on as a substitute and officially ended his 17-year career with Bayern Munich.
