That's all for tonight. What a game it was and thanks for following it with us!
Xabi Alonso has offered his frank reaction to Real Madrid's drubbing: "We knew that the task was really tough, playing against PSG and being two down after ten minutes. But we have to learn from today. They have built a team for two years .We are just starting... At the moment we need a proper break. This is not the beginning of this season, just the end of the last one."
PSG boss Luis Enrique is now giving his reaction “It is always difficult to play against Real Madrid. We are happy with the performance, especially in these conditions... We are going to try [to win the final] against a good team like Chelsea. Now it’s time for us to prepare and recover. We are almost there. We want to make history with our club.”
Fabián Ruiz speaking to DAZN after his side's resounding victory: ""It was an incredible game. A perfect performance, especially considering the heat. It was a brilliant performance against a really top team in Real Madrid and we are really happy we have gone through."
FULL TIME! PSG 4-0 Real Madrid
Luis Enrique's machine march onto the final, where they'll face Chelsea, after an absolutely emphatic display from start to finish. This really has been their year. As for Madrid, where do you even begin with a performance like that?
GOAL! PSG 4-0 Real Madrid
And just like that, it's officially game over! PSG again counter at speed as Ramos spins in the box and drills home before paying tribute to his late international teammate Diogo Jota with the goal celebration.
CHANCE!
That one was even closer! Militão takes aim from distance but Donnarumma saves it.
CHANCE!
That's the closest Madrid have come to reducing the deficit as Militão flashes his header from a corner just past Donnarumma's lefthand post
Madrid introduce Vázquez for Güler, who's struggled to have any meaningful impact in this game. You can pretty much say the same for their entire team
We're having the final cooling break of the game and Marid's race is definitely run at this stage. They've only threatened with half-chances and not seriously looked like clawing back their deficit in this half
Modrić replaces Bellingham and is joined off the bench by Militão and Díaz, who take the places of Asencio and Vinícius, as Los Blancos look to fight their way back into this contest with just over 25 minutes of normal time remaining
PSG ring the changes with Ramos and Barcola replacing Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia while Madrid are about to bring on Modrić for his final outing with the club
CHANCE!
Mbappé plays a one-two with Valverde before pulling the trigger but his effort flies over the bar
NO GOAL!
PSG looked to have grabbed a fourth as Doué sweeps home but the flag goes up immediately for offside
SECOND HALF!
Will we see a spirited fightback or more PSG dominance?
A pretty damning statistic from the opening 45 minutes
HALF TIME! PSG 3-0 Real Madrid
Well, talk about an exhibition! The European champions were clinical and composed from the outset while Madrid's defensive frailties proved their undoing. It's hard to see a way back for them after that opening half but never say never.
YELLOW CARD!
Neves is cautioned for stopping Güler launching a counterattack
CHANCE!
Courtois is really keeping things semi-respectable for Madrid as he denies Mendes' effort at a corner
CHANCE!
Asencio gifts PSG possession once more in a dangerous position as Kvaratskhelia shapes to shoot but he fails to make it four by dragging his shot wide of the target
Mbappé appealing for a penalty after going to ground from Neves' challenge but the referee waves away the appeals
Neither can we, gents. Neither can we.
Luis Enrique's ruthless machine has some high-profile admirers
YELLOW CARD!
Tchouaméni's name is taken after he catches Hakimi late with a sliding challenge
The only positive for Madrid is that Xabi Alonso already knows how to come back from seemingly impossible deficits, as a coach as well as in his playing days. Could he produce another miracle at the MetLife?
GOAL! PSG 3-0 Real Madrid
That might just be game over for the Spanish giants. The European champions cut through their rivals at breakneck speed with a one-touch move before Ruiz sweeps home
Some absolutely brilliant defending from Mendes as Vinícius looks set to make inroads on goal before the ball's swept away from him out of nowhere
CHANCE!
Hakimi fancies his chances with a daisy cutter but it's just past Courtois' righthand post
Shocking defending from Madrid here and not for the first time
What a year the PSG star is having, by the way!
GOAL! PSG 2-0 Real Madrid
And just like that it's two! Another Madrid mistake as Rüdiger is at fault this time, allowing Dembélé to steal possession and stroke the ball home. A blistering start for Les Parisiens!
GOAL! PSG 1-0 Real Madrid
The pressure finally tells for Les Parisiens! Dembélé capitalises on Asencio's poor control and tries to round Courtois before he's taken down but Ruiz is on hand to convert the rebound
CHANCE!
Another one! Courtois comes up clutch again to deny Hakimi
CHANCE!
Ruiz tests Courtois with a dangerous effort from the righthand side of the area. Really good safe from the Belgian
CHANCE!
Madrid create the first opening as Tchouaméni lets fly with a shot which is blocked for a corner
KICK OFF!
We're underway in New Jersey
And here come the teams!
The short hiatus leaves us enough time to mention that hip hop royalty is in the house to see these European giants do battle

It's just been confirmed that kick-off has been delayed by ten minutes due to a traffic accident on the route to MetLife Stadium.
Xabi Alonso's side are without summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who reportedly had a fitness issue in training on the eve of this clash. Will the England international be a huge miss for Los Blancos?
