PSG overwhelms Real Madrid: 4-0 win in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup!

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) scored an impressive 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The game took place in East Rutherford and PSG put in an outstanding performance that secured the team's place in the final where they will face Chelsea FC. With nine points, PSG achieved a great score in the tournament.

PSG dominated the first 45 minutes of the game thanks to a strong midfield in which players like Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves acted as key players. According to sports.yahoo.com, PSG allowed Real Madrid 384-95 passes in the first half and 631-255 total passes. Fabian Ruiz was particularly notable as he scored two goals and completed 71 of 76 passes.

Coaches in focus

After the game, PSG coach Luis Enrique praised his team's quality but highlighted the challenges posed by the high temperatures. He wanted better conditions to make the game even more attractive. Enrique also expressed his desire to make history for the club.

On the other hand, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso was disillusioned with the performance of his team. He spoke of self-criticism and acknowledged that his team was caught off guard at the start. Alonso described the semi-final as the end of the season for his players and was open to the positives that can be taken from this defeat, while emphasizing that PSG are a capable team.

The focus on the Club World Cup

The FIFA Club World Cup will be held in a new format from 2025. The competition now features 32 participating teams, as opposed to the previous seven teams. This restructuring underlines the intention to enable greater representation of different associations and replaced the previous system, which took place annually, with the last event taking place in Saudi Arabia in December 2023. PSG now has the opportunity to write their name in the history books with a title in the first edition of the tournament in the new format.

What is particularly interesting is that Luka Modric played his last minutes for Real Madrid in the semi-final. His presence on the field will be missed as the record winners in Champions League history will have to make do without him in the future.

In the standings since January 2025, PSG has scored more than 100 goals and conceded few goals, demonstrating the strength of the team. With this impressive record, the team not only has great ambitions, but also the necessary self-confidence to face Chelsea in the final and win the title.

The opportunity to be crowned club world champions offers PSG not only a sporting moment, but also a historical moment that the players and fans will remember for a long time. The challenges ahead in the final will certainly write another exciting chapter in football history.

PSG now has to not only win the game in the final against Chelsea, but also win the Club World Cup title, which could bring the desired glory to the entire organization.
