Knockout in a clash of giants! PSG crushes Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals

Paris Saint-Germain, the recent Champions League winners, defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinals of the Club World Cup in the United States. The match was refereed by Szymon Marciniak. The day before, Chelsea had secured a spot in the tournament final.

The match between the Parisians and Real Madrid at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, in front of over 77,000 spectators, promised to be a very attractive match, perhaps even a premature final, but the excitement in the clash of football giants ended after... 24 minutes.

PSG, who have been in excellent form in recent months, also the reigning French champions and domestic cup winners, were already leading 3-0 at this point. On two of those occasions, the Real Madrid defenders made serious errors.

Fabian Ruiz scored two goals (6th and 24th minutes) and Ousmane Dembele scored one (9th).

"The Parisians impressed, as they often did in the second half of the season, but at the beginning they capitalized on the opponents' shameful mistakes," wrote the AFP agency.

This score remained unchanged until the 87th minute, when substitute Goncalo Ramos scored to make it 4-0.

The day before - at the same stadium - Chelsea players defeated Fluminense Rio de Janeiro 2-0, thanks to two goals from the Brazilian Joao Pedro, who had been brought from Brighton just a few days earlier and was a product of... Fluminense.

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will battle for the 2025 Champions League title. The final will take place on Sunday, July 13, also in East Rutherford.

Results of the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup:
