In the 2025 Club World Cup Final, PSG Humiliates Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid, and will Play Chelsea.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) delivered a stunning performance against Real Madrid, achieving a humiliating 4-0 victory on Wednesday night, thereby securing their spot in the final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The semi-finals of the Club World Cup, held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 9, featured former PSG star Kylian Mbappé facing his old team for the first time since his transfer to Madrid last summer. However, what many had expected to be a celebratory evening for the Frenchman quickly turned into a humbling experience. From the very beginning, PSG displayed their ruthlessness. Within just six minutes, Fabian Ruiz struck first, capitalizing on a loose ball in the penalty area to give the Parisians an early lead. This initial goal unsettled Madrid’s defense, and merely three minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé extended the lead to two. Taking advantage of a mistake by Antonio Rüdiger, Dembélé coolly slotted the ball past Courtois. Luis Enrique’s squad pressed aggressively, stifling Madrid’s buildup play and moving the ball at a pace that the Spaniards struggled to keep up with. Jude Bellingham and Mbappé had brief moments of creativity, but they were effectively neutralized by a well-organized PSG midfield and defense. Ruiz netted his second goal in the 24th minute, finishing a quick one-two with Achraf Hakimi to put the French champions three goals ahead before the half-hour mark. Madrid was unable to recover from this setback. Even as coach Carlo Ancelotti made substitutions, bringing on Luka Modrić, Éder Militão, and Brahim Díaz in the second half, PSG maintained their tactical and psychological dominance. Gonçalo Ramos capped off the rout with a well-executed finish in the 87th minute following a rapid counterattack, ensuring a scoreline that was as brutal as it was justified. For Mbappé, this was a night to forget. He was met with boos from PSG fans with every touch, and although he displayed glimpses of his renowned speed, he was largely kept in check by his former teammates.
