PSG seal first-half win over Real Madrid, reach Club World Cup final | OneFootball

PSG and Chelsea will decide the FIFA Club World Cup title next Sunday (13).

The current Champions League champions qualified for the final this Wednesday (9) with a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid.

The scoreline started to build quickly, with two goals scored in less than ten minutes.

By halftime, the lead was already 3-0, and the last goal came in the final stretch of the second half.

Fabián Ruiz (2), Ousmane Dembélé, and Gonçalo Ramos found the net for the team led by Luis Enrique.

Check out the goals from the match below:

Rout in Half an Hour

The anticipation for the match was high, but no one expected a rout in ten minutes.

PSG only needed that much time to force two saves from Courtois and score two goals.

The first came after a serious mistake by Asencio (yet another in the tournament). The second, after a gross error by Rüdiger.

The French team didn’t stop there and scored their third goal before half an hour had passed.

PSG practically repeated the script of the Champions League final and didn’t let their opponent play throughout the first half.

Returns for Real Madrid

With a wide lead on the scoreboard, PSG slowed the pace on the field.

The Real Madrid net shook for a fourth time at the start of the second half, but the play was ruled out for offside.

The Spanish team managed to cause a few scares after the break, but still fell far short of threatening the opponent’s victory.

The final stage at least allowed Xabi Alonso to give playing time to players who hadn’t featured for months.

Recovered from knee injuries, Éder Militão and Carvajal took the field.

In the final stretch of the game, PSG turned the victory into a rout, scoring the fourth goal.
