Under the heat of more than 36 degrees Celsius in the US, PSG strongly swept away their arch-rival Real Madrid in the most anticipated match since the beginning of the tournament, the "early final" of the FIFA Club World Cup between two old and new forces of European and world football in the early morning of July 10.
The PSG - Real Madrid battle is watched by the whole world
The ball had only been rolling for 6 minutes at MetLife Stadium (New Jersey, USA), when center-back Raul Asencio lost the ball to PSG's Ousmane Dembele and although the French striker could not finish due to the intervention of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Fabian Ruiz easily tapped the ball into the net from close range, opening the score.

Before the game could stabilize, Real Madrid continued to concede a second goal in the 9th minute, when Dembele took advantage of Antonio Rüdiger's bad pass, escaped and scored in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

PSG played like they were possessed, while Real Madrid's defense kept making mistakes. In the 24th minute, from a lightning counterattack, Achraf Hakimi passed the ball smoothly for Fabian Ruiz to complete his double, putting the French representative in a 3-0 lead.
Notably, in all three goals conceded, Real Madrid's defense made serious individual mistakes, creating conditions for the opponent to easily score.

Despite fielding many stars such as Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr and especially Kylian Mbappé - who was facing his old team PSG for the first time - Real Madrid were still powerless to penetrate the opponent's net.
The central defender duo Marquinhos - Lucas Beraldo on PSG's side, especially left-back Nuno Mendez, had an excellent day, blocking all attacks from the "White Vultures".

The nightmare for Real Madrid ended in the 87th minute, when substitute Gonçalo Ramos finished neatly, sealing a 4-0 victory for PSG. This was also the first time since 2009 that Real Madrid had lost by four goals in the semi-finals of an official tournament.

Speaking after the match, PSG coach Luis Enrique said: "We prepared well and the whole team played a great match both tactically and mentally."
Meanwhile, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso admitted: "We were stunned by PSG's pressure and speed. This is a big lesson for the team that still has many points to improve."
PSG fans celebrate their team reaching the final
Midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who scored twice against Real Madrid and was voted "Player of the Match", said: "This was a perfect performance from PSG. I am happy with the two goals, but the most important thing is that this performance helped us win without much difficulty, even though Real Madrid are a very strong opponent. Chelsea will also be a difficult opponent, hopefully we will win the final in the best way possible".
PSG strongly aims for the championship title
With this result, PSG will face Chelsea in the final on July 13. This is the first time PSG has reached the Club World Cup final and they are facing the opportunity to win the world-class tournament.
