Paris Saint-Germain Crushes Real Madrid to Reach Club World Cup 2025 Final for the First Time in History
Paris Saint-Germain continued its impressive run in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with a historic and resounding 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the semi-finals. The match took place on Wednesday evening at MetLife Stadium in the United States.
Parisian Trio Seals the First Half Early
The Parisian side entered the match with clear attacking intent and imposed their rhythm from the very first moments. Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz opened the scoring in the 6th minute after a quick and coordinated attack, signaling a stormy start for the French team. Just three minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé doubled the lead in the 9th minute, throwing Real Madrid’s game plan into disarray early on.
Paris kept up the pressure, while Real Madrid appeared clearly unsettled. Ruiz returned to strike again in the 24th minute, netting his second personal goal and PSG’s third of the night, ending the first half with a comfortable lead that reflected the complete dominance of Luis Enrique's men.
Gonçalo Ramos Adds the Finishing Touch
In the second half, Real Madrid attempted to mount a comeback with scattered attacks, but Paris Saint-Germain’s defense, led by the outstanding goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, held firm with discipline and resilience. As the match neared its end, substitute striker Gonçalo Ramos left his mark by scoring the fourth goal in the 87th minute, sealing the French team’s superiority in one of the tournament’s most dazzling performances.
Paris Saint-Germain on the Brink of Glory
With this emphatic victory, Paris Saint-Germain reaches the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, setting up a clash with English side Chelsea, who had earlier eliminated Brazilian team Fluminense with a 2-0 win. The Parisian club hopes to crown its impressive campaign with the world title—an achievement it has long dreamed of in recent years. On the other hand, Real Madrid exited the tournament with a heavy and unexpected defeat—one that will undoubtedly spark internal review within the Spanish club, which is used to appearing on the winners’ podium. Paris Saint-Germain has shown today that it has become a force to be reckoned with on the global stage and now stands just one step away from writing a new chapter in its footballing history.
