In just 24 minutes at MetLife Stadium, Real Madrid had to pick the ball out of the net three times. Central defenders Raul Asencio and Antonio Rudiger made mistakes that directly led to Fabian Ruiz's brace and Ousmane Dembele's goal.

Meanwhile, full-backs Fran Garcia and Federico Valverde also played poorly and were constantly under pressure from PSG's fierce pressing ability.

After the first 45 minutes of the match ended, ESPN rated all four Real defenders below 6 points. Rudiger alone received the lowest score (5.5 points).

Real Madrid's defense is in alarming form.

For the first time since November 2003, Real Madrid conceded three goals in the first 24 minutes of a match. "Los Blancos" played passively and could not respond to PSG's fast and accurate attacks.

In the second half, coach Xabi Alonso brought in Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal to strengthen the defense. But Real Madrid still conceded a fourth goal after Goncalo Ramos' skillful handling in the penalty area.

During the match, PSG fired 17 shots, 7 of which were on target and 4 of which went into the net. On the opposite side, "Los Blancos" only forced Gianluigi Donnarumma to work hard to block twice.

This defeat caused Real to be eliminated from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, PSG will be in the final and face Chelsea on July 14.
