Paris Saint-Germain have stormed into the final of the FIFA Club World Cup with a commanding 4-0 victory over Spanish giants Real Madrid in the semi-final clash.
The French champions were ruthless from the outset, dismantling Madrid’s defense with pace, precision, and power in front of a packed stadium.
Fabian Ruiz was the star of the show, netting a brace in the 6th and 24th minutes, with Ousmane Dembélé adding the second in the 9th minute. Gonçalo Ramos capped off the emphatic win with a goal in the 87th minute to seal Real Madrid’s fate.
With this dominant win, PSG now set up a mouthwatering final against Chelsea, who booked their spot after a 3-1 victory over Brazilian side Fluminense on Saturday.
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso expressed his disappointment following the heavy defeat, admitting his side paid dearly for early errors.
Of course, those 2 mistakes made a big difference,” Alonso said in his post-match comments.
We need to stop repeating the same mistakes. It’s not smart. We can improve. There’s a lot of margin. We’ve found some positives, we leave as a better team.
