PSG sweeps Atletico Madrid 4-0 into the Club World Cup!
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has made an impressive start to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. On June 15, 2025, Champions League winners defeated Atlético Madrid 4-0 at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. PSG showed dominant play from the start and set the course for victory early on.
The first goal came in the 19th minute through Fabián Ruiz, who was perfectly set up by Kvaratskhelia. The long-range shot landed unstoppable in the net and opened the flood of goals for the Parisians. Shortly before half-time, Vitinha extended the lead to 2-0 by striking after a quick counterattack in injury time of the first half (45th + 1). These goals highlighted the difficulties Atlético Madrid had to develop dangerous moves against PSG's strong defence.
Key moments of the game
The second half brought some challenges for the Spaniards. Although Atlético Madrid tried to get back into the game, a possible goal from Julian Alvarez failed. The goal was disallowed after a VAR review because Koke had previously committed a foul. In addition, the chances for a comeback were noded in the 78th minute by a yellow-red card for Clément Lenglet, which further aggravated the situation for Atlético.
In the 88th minute, Senny Mayulu, Fally Mayulu's brother, scored PSG's third goal, making the score 3-0. Shortly before the final whistle, Kang-in Lee scored a penalty in the 90th+7 minute after a handball was recognized by Le Normand, sealing a 4-0 victory for the French.
