PSG outclasses Real Madrid: An act of dominance in the Club World Cup semi-finals!

Yesterday at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, USA, a real football debacle occurred for Real Madrid, who lost an impressive 0:4 (0:3) in the Club World Cup to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). In front of over 77,000 spectators, the team from Paris put on a dominating performance that amazed both fans and critics. The lightning start came with two goals from Fabián Ruiz in the 6th and 24th minutes, followed by another goal from Ousmane Dembélé, who also scored in the 24th minute. Goncalo Ramos scored the final point in the 87th minute, ending the Madrilenians' early exit. Coach Xabi Alonso's team, which is currently undergoing a restructuring process, was far from its usual class and was never able to really get into the game. Even worse: Antonio Rüdiger helped PSG to 0-2 with a crucial mistake, which didn't make things any better.

The words of PSG coach Luis Enrique promised great things: “We want to make history for the club.” With this win, the team not only gained confidence, but also prepared for the upcoming final on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. CEST against Chelsea FC. The team from London beat Fluminense 2-0 in the first semi-final. The winner of the final will receive a prize of $40 million.

PSG as a football machine

Paris Saint-Germain have established themselves as a true football machine over the last eight months. You no longer rely on the solo of the superstars, but rather show a collective, highly effective style of play. In European competition, PSG has defeated teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter Milan, among others, earning a reputation as a real power in football. This remarkable team performance was also evident in the semi-final against Real Madrid, where PSG led 4-0 at half-time. Kylian Mbappé had surprisingly little influence in the game against the Spanish team and was unable to excel against the solid defense.

Xabi Alonso, who recently took over as coach at Real Madrid, now faces several challenges in leading the team into the modern era. His analysis of the game is still difficult as he is just starting to form his team. Despite these adversities, the team around Vinícius Junior, who also played below his potential, remains optimistic that they can learn from this defeat and play better in future games.

A look at the future

The next challenge for PSG will be the fight for the quadruple, which seems quite realistic this season. If they can show the final bite against Chelsea on Sunday, the team could write themselves into the history books. It will now be important for Real Madrid and coach Alonso to learn from the defeat and realign the team in order to shine again not only in Spain but also on the international stage.

So PSG will not only hope for final success, but also continue to exploit the possibilities together with their coach Luis Enrique to set new standards in the world of football. The signs point to a storm, and the football world is looking intently at what is to come.
