Bitter Modrić party

Paris Saint-Germain overwhelmed Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the club World Cup and increased 3-0 lead to 4: 0 shortly before the end in the 24th minute by Fabián Ruiz and Ousmane Dembélé. It was particularly bitter for real icon Luka Modrić, who made his last game for the royal in the club after 13 years. It was his 597th appearance for Madrid, who ended after 60 minutes and with that ended in the semi -finals of the tournament in front of 77,542 spectators at the Metlife stage outside of New York. For PSG it continues in the final on Sunday (9 p.m.) against Chelsea FC, which was able to prevail against Fluminense in the semi -finals.
PSG is now also the clear favorite in the final on Sunday (9:00 p.m./MESZ) against Chelsea. Then, in addition to the winning trophy, the presence of US President Donald Trump is probably also about the $ 40 million jackpot as a success bonus for the winner. Chelsea won 2-0 against Fluminensee from Rio de Janeiro in the first semi -final on Tuesday.
39 days after the 5-0 against Inter Milan in the royal class final in Munich, the wonderfully harmonizing ensemble from Paris triumphed in one-sided game. The ingenious midfielder Ruiz (6th/24th minute) and the ex-dortmund Dembélé (24th) ensured clear conditions with their goals at an early stage. Substitute Gonçalo Ramos set the final point (87th).
Rüdiger fails badly, Mbappé deregistered, Vinícius Diven like
Germany’s defense chief Antonio Rüdiger also hit the powerless real team. After a mistake by his fellow man Raul Asencio at the first goal, he gave the 0-2. Rüdiger dwelled past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois by attempted back pass – Dembéle took the gift.
What a royal disaster! PSG coach Luis Enrique was afraid the evening before in his press conference that the kick-off time in the New York afternoon heat could be “not good for the show” on the pitch. But for the PSG collective he created, which celebrates football with lust and brilliance, was still showtime against an Alonso team that consisted of eleven single players without a common sense. Kylian Mbappé did not make a stab against his ex-club. A degree with right flew like a field goal in American football over the goal of PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (53.). And Vinícius Junior? The Brazilian usually acted as a diva at step.
“It is difficult to analyze this real Madrid under Xabi Alonso,” Luis Enrique said about the still developing playing style of the royal under Alonso, who has just started his work after the farewell to Bayer Leverkusen in Madrid.
But Luis Enriques team revealed all the weaknesses – tactical, runner -up, playful. Spain’s record champion did not close the resistance that PSG learned 2-0 against FC Bayern, in which national player Jamal Musiala injured the leg last Saturday in Atlanta after a violent collision with goalkeeper Donnarumma.
