Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinals of the Club World Cup

Fabian Ruiz (No. 8) scored twice, helping Paris Saint-Germain defeat Real Madrid and successfully advanced to the Club World Cup final.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final has been confirmed, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinal at the Metropolitan Life Stadium.

Spanish midfielders Fabián Ruiz and Ousmane Dembélé each scored two goals in the first half, giving Paris Saint-Germain the dominance from the start.

Gonzalo Ramos scored another fourth goal in the final minutes of the game, adding icing on the cake to Paris Saint-Germain in the heat of New Jersey as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).

Premier League team Paris Saint-Germain defeated Brazilian side Frumenense in the semi-finals on Tuesday, which will face Chelsea in the final on Sunday.

Paris Saint-Germain has now had the opportunity to become a world champion after winning the European Champions League event, the top European football club event in May, bringing a perfect end to the 12-month glory.

After Wednesday's victory, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique stressed the importance of entering the finals to all the club's relevant personnel.

"It's a very special moment for us Parisians, for all the fans, for the club as a whole," the Spaniard said. "I think we did a great job and played a great game."

We were so happy that we reached the finals and it was an incredible season. We want to win this final. Everyone saw the suffocating heat, and it was great to play in that environment. I think it affected both teams, but we continued to play and continued to fight. I think it's a great time for all Parisians.

Ramos scored his fourth goal against Real Madrid. The semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid is a head-on confrontation between two major European football teams in the finals of the Club World Cup.

A major focus of discussion is how French star Killian Mbappe will perform when he first faces his old club.

However, while Mets Stadium showed Real Madrid's offensive talent to the 77,542 fans present, the mistakes of the Real Madrid defender were the key in the opening minutes. In the sixth minute of the game, Raúl Asencio, who appeared in the bench by Dean Huijsen, cleared the ball in his penalty area for too long, causing Dembélé to take the opportunity to steal and get the ball. After Dembele was knocked down by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, referee Szymon Marciniak made a favorable penalty and the ball fell to Ruiz's feet and he easily shot the ball into the goal.

After just three minutes, Real Madrid's situation became worse and worse. Antonio Rudiger made a mistake in controlling the ball, giving Dembele enough time to steal, and without a defensive player, Dembele rushed through the defense and shot past Courtois.

Despite leading two goals, Paris Saint-Germain did not relax its guard. In the 24th minute, Paris Saint-Germain broke through Real Madrid's formation with its iconic sharp pass and scored another goal, and Ashraf Hakimi easily assisted Ruiz to score the second goal of the game.

Real Madrid did improve in the game and created their own chances, but their offensive lineup failed to break through Paris Saint-Germain's defense, and the team lacked two key players, William Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, who were shown a red card in the quarterfinals.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain scored another goal, and Ramos quickly counterattacked and scored to secure the victory for the team. His celebratory action mimics himself sitting and playing video games - in honor of former Portuguese teammate Diogo Jota who died in a car accident last week.

Paris Saint-Germain maintained its strong form during the Champions League championship in the Club World Cup and looked to be the best team far ahead.

The team has not conceded any of the last six wins, Dembele’s goal is his 35th goal of the season and his previous record is 14, which has put him firmly in the dominance of the Ballon d’Or.

Now, Paris Saint-Germain will try to win another trophy in Sunday's final against Chelsea at the Metropolitan Life Stadium, bringing a perfect end to this special season.

Although the number of Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stadium is far less than the number of Real Madrid fans, Paris fans still voiced their support.

"It's so proud to be in the final," Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Sunny Mayuru said. "The finals are not something we can play every day, so we will enjoy it very much."

We advanced with a big victory. We are very happy about it, we will take some time to enjoy the game and also take a break to prepare for the finals, as the finals are not over yet. Again, we are really happy to be in the finals. ”

This result also marks the end of an era. Madrid legendary star Luca Modric played the last game for the club, bringing the end to the chapter of the Croatian star winning the trophy in the Spanish capital.

Before leaving Real Madrid, Modric made a total of 597 appearances, making him the player with the most trophysics in the Spanish club, winning 28 trophys, including 6 Champions League titles. During his time at Real Madrid, he also won the 2018 Golden Globe Awards.

The 39-year-old will now sign with Italian giants AC Milan to continue his career.

"This is not the ending we wanted, it's a bitter ending, but he won't be remembered for today's game, but for his other wonderful performances," Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso said after the game. "He is a legend in the world football world and a legend in Real Madrid."
