PSG hammer Real Madrid 4-0 to reach FIFA Club World Cup final
Fabian Ruiz scored twice, Ousmane Dembele tallied a goal and an assist, and Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Real Madrid as well as Kylian Mbappe from the FIFA Club World Cup by sailing to a 4-0 semifinal win. PSG built a 3-0 lead in 24 minutes, deflating the heavily pro-Madrid crowd on Wednesday. Goncalo Ramos, who subbed on for Dembele early in the second half, added a goal for good measure in the 87th minute. Gianluigi Donnarumma parried one early shot by Mbappe and finished with two saves, but the PSG defence was otherwise unbothered en route to their fifth clean sheet in six tournament matches. Wednesday marked Mbappe's first time facing PSG, for whom he scored 256 goals over seven years before joining Madrid a year ago. After coming on as a substitute in the past two matches, Mbappe started up front alongside Gonzalo Garcia, but was held off the scoresheet. Trent Alexander-Arnold was out of Real Madrid's squad, reportedly due to a training injury. Coming off its first European title, PSG will play for the championship on Sunday. Real fared no better than Inter Milan, overrun by PSG 5-0 in the Champions League final. The 15-time European champions looked sluggish after travelling to Florida for training between games, and PSG had 76.5 percent possession in the first half. A crowd of 77,542 was at MetLife Stadium on a scorching day, with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees Fahrenheit) at kickoff and humidity that made it feel like 38C (101F). PSG's attack wasted no time, however, forcing Courtois to make two difficult saves during the first five minutes. But in the sixth, Dembele robbed Raul Asencio of the ball in the centre of the box, tapped it away from Courtois's diving reach and set up Ruiz for a one-timer into the back of the net. Dembele made Madrid pay again when he closed in on Antonio Rudiger, who proceeded to whiff on a pass attempt in the defensive half. Dembele bolted away and beat Courtois in the bottom left corner for a 2-0 lead less than nine minutes in. After Mbappe's third shot of the day was blocked, PSG ran out on a clinical counterattack. Achraf Hakimi sprung free down the right side on a give-and-go with Dembele, and Hakimi's cross set up Ruiz's second goal in the 24th minute. Paris Saint-Germain will face Chelsea on Sunday in the final. Chelsea won the title in 2021, while PSG will try to become the first team from France to capture the trophy. PSG has earned $88.4m to $113.8m for reaching the final, the amount depending on a participation fee.

This FIFA 2025 Club World Cup semi final results means PSG will now face Chelsea in the final. Real Madrid Massacred By PSG It's no exaggeration. PSG thrashed Madrid at MetLife Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. The Parisian side had a 2-0 lead after 10 minutes thanks to two dreadful errors from the Real Madrid defence. Player of the game Fabián Ruiz scored either side of a tidy one-on-one finish from Ballon d'Or candidate Ousmane Dembélé. PSG led 3-0 at half time, virtually out of sight. Celebrations from the Paris bench also suggested that it meant a lot to this team; who is on the verge of winning a fourth major trophy this season.

(Photo by Ira L. Black - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) In the second period the Frenchmen made a host of changes, went down the gears and still caused Madrid more issues than they conceded. A 4-0 victory was a fair reflection of an easy day at the office for Luis Enrique and his exceptionally talented group of players. From a Real Madrid point of view, two early goals given away in such poor fashion made it a difficult game to even analyse for the Spanish club. It's a deserved final for PSG; a team that has been a joy to watch and has been the best on the planet by some distance in 2025. Vitinha and João Neves are turbocharged engines in the middle of the park. Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi are the most menacing full-backs on the planet at the moment, and Désiré Doué floats across the park like he is wearing the winged sandals of Hermes.

Cole Palmer and Chelsea have grown into this tournament and the arrival of an inspired João Pedro hasn't hurt the 'Blues' progress either. In the grand scheme of things Chelsea have enjoyed a favourable run to the final despite a good battle with Palmeiras in the quarter finals. On Tuesday Chelsea defeated Fluminense in the semi finals with relative ease. This also means that the English side has one more rest day before the final. It's a small but significant advantage that the Premier League club will need coming up against a side as dominant and in-form as PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid predictions, odds and betting tips
IN what would have been a fitting final, PSG and Real Madrid will clash in the second FIFA Club World Cup semi-final at the MetLife Stadium on Wednesday. PSG are the top team in European and probably world football at the moment. However, Real Madrid is a team packed with superstars that knows how to get to finals and win trophies. Waiting for the match to start? 📺 Keep up the live action with bet365 live casino! 👇 PSG vs Real Madrid odds Find the latest football betting odds for PSG vs Real Madrid here. Our odds are provided by our recommended football betting sites and are subject to change. PSG vs Real Madrid predictions Paris Saint-Germain have been outstanding in 2025, clinching a domestic treble and the Champions League. On Wednesday they will face arguably their biggest test of the season when they face Real Madrid in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup. Such is the form of Paris, the bookmakers have them as the favourites to win. Luis Enrique's team are 13/10 to win in 90 minutes and 7/10 to qualify. The Parisians have had a comfortable passage to the final. They started by topping Group B with six points. A 4-0 win over Inter Miami in the Round of 16 followed, and they then defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in their quarter-final, despite finishing the match with just nine men. After their red cards against Bayern, PSG will be without Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez for the semi-final against Madrid. There are still fitness concerns surrounding Ousmane Dembélé, who has only made two substitute appearances at the Club World Cup. In all likelihood, the Ballon d'Or contender will start from the bench. Real Madrid have looked less assured than Paris have at the Club World Cup. However, they are finding ways to win matches and as a result, Xabi Alonso's team are in another semi-final of a major competition. Los Blancos topped Group H with seven points, with only a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal preventing a perfect record. A 1-0 win over Juventus in the Round of 16 followed. The result didn't really reflect the performance, as Madrid were head and shoulders above the Italians and should have won by far more. Real were then coasting into the semi-final when leading Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the closing stages of their quarter-final. A crazy few minutes saw three stoppage time goals and a red card for Dean Huijsen. Eventually, Madrid made it to the final four with a 3-2 win. However, they have keeper Thibaut Courtois to thank for his last gasp save that prevented the match from going to extra-time. Apart from Dean Huijsen's suspension for his red card, Madrid have a clean bill of health for the semi-final. The key decision for head coach Xabi Alonso appears to be deciding which of Kylian Mbappé and Gonzalo García will lead the line. PSG vs Real Madrid betting tips The form guide is pointing towards a win for PSG. While there were initial doubts about how seriously the Parisians would approach the competition, those concerns have since been put to rest. However, overcoming Real Madrid presents an entirely different challenge. Our match tips follow: Real Madrid to qualify PSG look to be the stronger team on paper and should win if they play to form. However, they are now nearing the end of a very tiring season. Real Madrid have also had a very busy season, but new head coach Xabi Alonso has freshened up his playing XI at the Club World Cup. Real have already won this competition five times. They've also won the Champions League twice in recent years, despite not looking like the best team in competition. Los Blancos seem to find a way to win big trophies and we can see them taking advantage of a tiring PSG and reaching yet another major final. Jude Bellingham over 0.5 shots on target Jude Bellingham has had six shots at goal in his five FIFA Club World Cup matches (383 minutes), with three on target, including his goal against Pachuca. Bellingham is a man for the big occasion. He is 33/10 to score anytime. However, given Gianluigi Donnarumma can produce inspired performances in big games, we are instead backing Bellingham to have one or more shots on target, rather than score. BTTS, both teams 4+ corners and both teams 20+ booking points There's a strong chance that both teams will find the net in this semi-final clash. PSG managed zero corners against Bayern in a surprising stat, but that followed their seven against Inter Miami in the previous round. They also collected 60 booking points in their hectic encounter with Munich. Real Madrid registered three corners and 35 booking points against Borussia Dortmund, but showed their attacking intent with 11 corners in their previous match against Juventus. With both sides likely to go on the front foot from the off, there's every chance that all the components of this bet are within reach. 📺 How to watch Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey.
