PSG Humiliates Real Madrid: A Footballing Masterclass at the Club World Cup!

Setting the Stage: An Unexpected Semi-Final Showdown

The 2025 Club World Cup delivered a dream fixture: Paris Saint-Germain versus Real Madrid. While some anticipated a tight contest, the reality was far different. At the iconic MetLife Stadium, PSG inflicted a resounding 4-0 defeat on the Spanish giants, securing their place in the final. A result that surprised many observers, even in pre-season.

Match Recap: A Parisian Steamroller

From the kickoff, PSG displayed their ambitions. Ball possession (68% compared to Real’s 31%) reflected their undisputed territorial dominance. Goals from Fabián Ruiz (brace), Ousmane Dembélé, and Gonçalo Ramos illustrated the Parisians’ technical and tactical superiority.

• 6th minute: Ruiz opens the scoring after a scramble in the Madrid defense.
• 9th minute: Dembélé, played through on goal, slots past Courtois with an unstoppable shot.
• 24th minute: Ruiz, again, capitalizes on a pinpoint pass from Hakimi to double the lead.
• 87th minute: Ramos completes the rout, sealing Real’s fate.

Real Madrid, visibly out of sorts, never managed to trouble the PSG defense. With only 2 shots on target out of 11 attempts, the Madrid attack remained silent. The absence of Kylian Mbappé, rested for the match, did not hinder PSG’s enthusiasm in the slightest.

Tactical Analysis: A Parisian Masterclass

Xabi Alonso’s tactical choice, the Real Madrid coach, with a three-man defense, proved disastrous. Quickly overwhelmed by the pace of the Parisian attackers, the system was revamped after just 30 minutes, but without reversing the trend. The performance of Fabián Ruiz, named man of the match, is worth highlighting. His ability to surge forward and his accuracy in front of goal were decisive. Ousmane Dembélé was also a constant menace to the Madrid defense.

Key Stats:

• Possession: PSG 68% – Real Madrid 31%
• Shots: PSG 17 – Real Madrid 11
• Shots on Target: PSG 7 – Real Madrid 2
• Corners: PSG 4 – Real Madrid 6
