Paris Saint-Germain continued their dream season with a breathtaking 4-0 demolition of Spanish giants Real Madrid to book a place in the FIFA Club World Cup final, where they’ll face Chelsea in what promises to be a thrilling all-European showdown in New York.
Barely a month after their emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, Luis Enrique’s men delivered another masterclass in dominance and discipline. This time, it came on American soil at the MetLife Stadium — a venue that could soon witness PSG’s crowning moment in what has already become a historic campaign.
The Parisians wasted no time asserting their authority, storming into the lead just six minutes in. A miscontrolled ball by Madrid’s Raul Asencio inside his own box gifted Ousmane Dembélé the opportunity to pounce. The French winger kept his composure and slid the ball to Fabian Ruiz, who coolly slotted home the opener. What followed was an 18-minute blitz that Real Madrid simply couldn’t withstand.
With the tempo high and the pressure relentless, PSG’s fluid attack and midfield control left Carlo Ancelotti’s side gasping. The goals kept coming, and by the half-time whistle, the outcome was practically sealed. The second half served as a formality, with PSG comfortably managing their lead and preserving energy for Sunday’s final.
Having already lifted the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France this season, PSG are now just one win away from completing a remarkable quadruple. The Champions of Europe now turn their sights to global glory, returning to MetLife Stadium as heavy favourites against Enzo Maresca’s emerging Chelsea side.
A world title would not only cap off a phenomenal season but also send a clear message: PSG are no longer just contenders they are world football’s dominant force.
