Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) announced themselves in the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) with a commanding 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. With both teams making their debut in the competition, the French champions showed their class, ruthlessly exploiting Atlético’s lapses and putting themselves in pole position to top Group B.
For Kenyan football fans, this match wasn’t just about the scoreline – it was a showcase of European brilliance, South American flair, and tactical mastery that fans of Betting on Bangbet.com would have enjoyed predicting.
🔥 First Half: PSG Strike Early and Dominate Possession
It didn’t take long for the game to ignite. Atlético Madrid’s Julián Alvarez offered an early threat, curling a free-kick just wide within the first three minutes. But PSG’s response was calculated and brutal. After a decent save from Oblak denied Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian turned provider for Fabián Ruiz, who fired in a precise low shot to give PSG the lead in the 19th minute.
With Atlético sitting deep, PSG began to enjoy long spells of possession. The second goal came quickly and once again involved Kvaratskhelia. The Napoli import slid in a smooth pass to Vitinha, who calmly guided his finish past Oblak in the 23rd minute.
⚔️ Atlético Fight Back… Briefly
Atlético attempted to rally through Antoine Griezmann, whose powerful strike was well handled by Gianluigi Donnarumma. But their momentum was short-lived.
Just after the hour mark, Nuno Mendes made a brilliant run and found Kvaratskhelia, whose shot was tipped onto the bar by Oblak. Atlético’s glimmer of hope – a goal from Alvarez – was snatched away by VAR, which spotted a foul from Koke in the build-up.
🟥 Lenglet’s Red Card Ends Atlético’s Hopes
With time ticking down, Clement Lenglet lost his composure, receiving a second yellow card after protesting too strongly against a non-call on Senny Mayulu. Down to 10 men, Atlético’s fight was over.
They still managed to miss a glorious chance through Alexander Sørloth, who fired over from just four yards out, summing up Atleti’s frustrating evening.
🏁 PSG Seals It with Two Late Goals
PSG kept pressing and were finally rewarded again. After Achraf Hakimi‘s cross was mishandled, Senny Mayulu pounced to make it 3-0 in the 84th minute. In added time, VAR caught a handball by Robin Le Normand, and Lee Kang-in converted the resulting penalty to make it 4-0.
This emphatic win cements Luis Enrique’s PSG as one of the frontrunners for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
