MetLife Stadium bore witness to a Parisian masterclass as Paris Saint-Germain crushed Real Madrid 4-0, booking their place in the FIFA Club World Cup final. For Kenyan football fans glued to the spectacle, it was a reminder of why football remains the beautiful game, full of twists, talent, and shock results.
Lightning Start Shocks Los Blancos
Even with a stadium awash in white shirts supporting Real Madrid, PSG wasted no time asserting dominance. The opening nine minutes were a nightmare for Xabi Alonso’s men, whose unbeaten managerial start came crashing down spectacularly.
- Raúl Asencio’s costly error handed Ousmane Dembélé a clear chance, drawing a foul from Thibaut Courtois. Fabián Ruiz capitalized, slotting home the loose ball to open the scoring.
- Moments later, Antonio Rüdiger’s mishit pass fell kindly to Dembélé, who buried a cool left-footed finish, putting PSG firmly in command at 2-0.
PSG’s Flair Leaves Real Reeling
Luis Enrique’s side exuded confidence, showcasing crisp passing and swift transitions. Achraf Hakimi, dangerous as ever down the flank, lashed a shot narrowly wide before providing the assist for PSG’s third goal. A flowing move ended with Hakimi squaring the ball for Ruiz, who completed his brace.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could have piled further misery on Real before halftime, but his effort sailed agonizingly wide.
Real’s Feeble Response
Xabi Alonso’s team tried to regroup after the break. A marginal offside spared them a fourth goal when Désiré Doué found the net. Real Madrid showed glimpses of fight, but Gianluigi Donnarumma remained largely untested.
Kylian Mbappé, facing his former club, attempted a long-range strike but couldn’t find the target, underlining a rare quiet night for the French superstar..
Ramos Seals The Rout
PSG never took their foot off the pedal. Gonçalo Ramos squandered a chance, firing wide from a tight angle, but made amends late on. Bradley Barcola’s dazzling footwork set up Ramos, who coolly slotted PSG’s fourth past Courtois.
PSG have now kept clean sheets in five consecutive knockout matches, underscoring their defensive steel alongside attacking brilliance. Next, they lock horns with Chelsea in Sunday’s final, and judging by this performance, the French champions are clear favourites to lift the revamped FIFA Club World Cup trophy.
