PSG Overwhelm Real Madrid with Early Blitz
PSG vs Real Madrid – Paris Saint‑Germain sent a warning to all challengers by thumping Real Madrid 4–0 at MetLife Stadium on Wednesday, booking their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup final. Two early defensive errors and a first‑half brace from Fabián Ruiz set the tone, and Gonçalo Ramos wrapped up the rout three minutes from time. With Kylian Mbappé back in the lineup and Ousmane Dembélé electric on the wing, PSG looked every bit the European champions they are.
First‑Half Fireworks
PSG opened the scoring inside six minutes when Raúl Asencio miscontrolled a pass, gifting Dembélé the ball. His initial shot was saved by Thibaut Courtois, but Ruiz pounced on the rebound to slot home. Three minutes later, Antonio Rüdiger’s loose back‑pass allowed Dembélé to burst into the box and finish clinically past Courtois.
- Ruiz’s brace: His second came in the 24th minute after a surging run from Achraf Hakimi. Ruiz feinted past Asencio before tucking the ball in from close range.
- Dominance: PSG led 3–0 inside 24 minutes, showcasing precise passing, relentless pressing, and midfield control.
Managerial Gambit Backfires for Real Madrid
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso’s switch from a five‑man defense to a four‑man backline—forced by Dean Huijsen’s suspension and Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s injury—proved disastrous. PSG repeatedly exposed Madrid’s flanks, with Hakimi and Nuno Mendes bombing forward to create overloads. Alonso conceded on DAZN, “We knew that the task was really tough… we’ll have to try to learn from today.”
Second‑Half Control and Ramos’ Finish
Real Madrid offered no serious threat after the break. PSG continued to dominate possession, with Désiré Doué’s goal ruled out for offside. Then, three minutes from time, substitute Gonçalo Ramos capitalized on Madrid’s frailties to slot home a fourth, capping a one‑sided contest.
PSG’s Rise Continues Under Enrique
Since lifting the Champions League trophy with a 5–0 win over Inter Milan just weeks ago, PSG have shown no signs of letting up. In the United States, Luis Enrique’s side has already beaten Atlético and Bayern Munich by comfortable margins, and only stumbled slightly against Botafogo. Their blend of youth and experience—featuring Mbappé, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, and midfield maestros like Ruiz, João Neves, and Vitinha—has made them arguably the world’s most watchable team.
- Stat check: Three goals conceded in two Club World Cup games; six goals scored.
- Playing style: High tempo, pressing from the front, and fearless wing play.
Former pundits hailed PSG’s evolution. “They look like a dynasty in the making,” said Gareth Bale on DAZN, while Andros Townsend added, “Luis Enrique has created a monster.”
