Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a dominant 4-0 win over Real Madrid in New Jersey on Wednesday night.
Luis Enrique’s side raced into a two-goal lead inside ten minutes as Real Madrid’s backline collapsed under early pressure.
Fabián Ruiz opened the scoring after a mix-up in defence, before Ousmane Dembélé capitalised on another error to double the lead just moments later.
From there, PSG never looked back. Ruiz added his second before half-time, and substitute Gonçalo Ramos completed the rout late on, sealing a statement win that sets up a final showdown with Chelsea on Sunday.
Here's a look at three things we learned from Wednesday's game...
It took just six minutes for Real Madrid to self-destruct.
Antonio Rüdiger’s misplaced pass and a misjudged touch from Marco Asensio handed PSG the chance to take the lead, which Ruiz did with ease.
Two minutes later, another defensive lapse allowed Dembélé to sweep home a second.
Madrid were shell-shocked, and their sluggish start proved fatal. Despite boasting an attacking lineup, Xabi Alonso’s side looked overwhelmed and out of sync at the back.
Against a team as clinical as PSG, such mistakes were always going to be punished - and they were, emphatically.
From the first whistle, PSG imposed themselves with sharp pressing, clean ball movement, and ruthless transitions.
Ruiz was the standout in midfield, constantly finding pockets of space and setting the tempo, while the front line caused chaos for Madrid’s unbalanced defence.
While Madrid struggled to establish any rhythm, PSG looked every bit the well-drilled unit.
Enrique’s side executed their game plan with clarity and composure, overwhelming their opponents both technically and physically.
It was a complete team performance that left Madrid chasing shadows.
This wasn’t just a win - it was a statement.
PSG spent years chasing Champions League validation before overcoming that hurdle back on June 1, and this latest version of the team under Enrique feels more balanced, mature, and in control.
The 4-0 scoreline reflected more than just Madrid’s mistakes, it showcased PSG’s evolution into a high-functioning collective.
The fact that they achieved such a commanding result against a European heavyweight in a major semi-final will do wonders for belief.
With a continental treble already secured, and the Club World Cup final now looming, PSG look ready to stake their claim as the best team in the world.
