PSG vs Real Madrid form
PSG have shown why their shock defeat in the group stage against Botafogo (0-1) was only a minor accident. Entering the knockout stage, the team under the direction of coach Luis Enrique truly deserves to be called the face of the reigning Champions League champions.
After easily crushing Inter Miami 4-0, the Parisian giants continued to make mincemeat of their opponents, who were considered to be quite evenly matched, Bayern Munich, with a convincing score of 2-0 in the quarter-finals. That was the match where Doue gave the Ligue 1 champions the opening goal in the 78th minute.
However, less than 5 minutes later, PSG was at a disadvantage in terms of personnel due to Pacho William's red card. By the second minute of extra time, the French team was down to only 9 players. Facing great pressure from the opposing firepower, Enrique's students not only stood firm, but also created the decisive "punch" with Ousmane Dembele's goal to seal the 2-0 score.
Defeating Bayern, PSG extended their winning streak to 3, while keeping a clean sheet. In the semi-finals, Kvaratskhelia and his teammates will create an early final match with Real Madrid, the name considered their biggest rival at this time.
But in the upcoming top match, PSG is still considered slightly better, thanks to a more balanced force between the lines and excellent form. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has not been able to make the Madridistas feel secure.
Under the guidance of new coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid have yet to taste defeat. After 5 appearances at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the Spanish Royal team has won 4 and drawn 1, scoring 11 and conceding 4 goals. Despite some unconvincing performances, Los Blancos' mettle has often been shown at the right time.
In the matches against Juventus (round of 16) and Dortmund (quarter-finals), Real Madrid have shown their mettle. However, the two challenges mentioned above are clearly no match for the opponent that Xabi Alonso and his team are about to face. In particular, the defense is in disarray due to injuries, while the new players have not really integrated well, becoming the biggest concern for the current La Liga runner-up.
The two goals conceded in the match against Dortmund showed the weakness of the "defensive wall" in front of Thibaut Courtois. Can Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Asencio, Garcia stand firm against the most unpredictable attack in world football today?
