Now only four teams are left in the fight for the beautiful trophy of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
PSG was just waiting after eliminating Bayern.
And saw Real Madrid dispatch Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a game with an AMAZING final stretch.
Which had Courtois avoiding an UNBELIEVABLE extra time in the last play.
Fluminense x Chelsea, the first semi, had been defined last Friday (4).
Real took the lead after just ten minutes with their top scorer Gonzalo García.
He reached four goals. Entering the fight for the top scorer of the competition.
The second was from another García, Fran (19').
Dortmund returned with three changes for the final stage.
But it didn't create a real scoring chance.
Real's rhythm dropped. Which guaranteed the entries of Ceballos, Modric, and Mbappé.
Rodrygo was only called in at 41'.
The game was already in injury time. Without the prospect of excitement.
And then Bier scored at 46'.
Soon after, Mbappé scored a GOLAZO with a volley at 48'.
There was still time for Guirassy to be pulled by Huijsen in the area.
Real's defender was sent off by Ramon Abel Abatti.
Guirassy (52') also reached four goals in the World Cup.
And Courtois made a MIRACLE on Sabitzer's attempt in the last play of the game.
The final minutes were pure MADNESS.
