PSG to Face Chelsea in Club World Cup Final After 4–0 Rout of Real Madrid
Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final after a commanding 4–0 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night at the Parc des Princes. The French champions stunned the Spanish giants with a first-half blitz, featuring two goals from Fabián Ruiz and one from Ousmane Dembélé. Gonçalo Ramos sealed the result late in the second half.
Luis Enrique’s side dominated proceedings from the start, overwhelming Madrid with high-pressing, fluid attacking moves and clinical finishing. Real Madrid, despite their pedigree, looked out of sorts and failed to register a single shot on target in the first half.
The result sets up a mouthwatering clash between PSG and Chelsea, who defeated Palmeiras in the other semi-final. The two European heavyweights will meet on Sunday in what will be PSG’s first appearance in a Club World Cup final.
Chelsea will be looking to lift the trophy for the second time in their history, while PSG will be aiming to crown their recent European resurgence with their first global title.
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, 13 July, with venue and match details expected to be confirmed by FIFA shortly.
