After a football fireworks, especially in the first round, Paris St. Germain is in the final of the club World Cup. Real Madrid failed several times in the defense and was shown in the highly deserved 0: 4 (0: 3) bankruptcy. Fabián Ruiz (6th and 24th minute) scored twice, Ousmane Dembélé (9th) had achieved the early 2-0. In the 87th minute, Goncalo Ramos achieved the final score.
On May 31, Inter Milan had also had to find out in Munich that it really can’t be fun to be the opponent of PSG. The final of the Champions League for the ex-team of Kylian Mbappé ended 5: 0. And now Paris is on the way to a double that has never existed – only Chelsea FC can still prevent this on Sunday evening (July 13th, 2025, 9 p.m. in the live ticker at Sportschau.de). The “blues” won their semi -finals 2-0 (1: 0).
Paris plays a crazy pace – without Mbappé
It is not clear whether Mbappé was sometimes a look at the East Rutherford Stadium in New Jersey on Wednesday evening. But he, too, as one of the fastest strikers in the world, may have been quite impressed to experience this crazy Paris tempo game up close. However, his colleagues in the white jersey also favors greatly.
Paris should have taken the lead in the 5th minute, but Thibaut Courtois saved Courtois with a world-class reflex against the completely freely facing Dembélé. Seconds later, Dembélé was involved again by punishing a bad stick error by Raúl Asencio: the ex-Dortmund sparked the miserable ball acceptance from the foot, was then changed by Courtois, but referee Szymon Marciniak recognized the advantage: Fabián pushed into the empty goal.
Antonio Rüdiger droppers
The Asencio dropout was still outbid in embarrassment three minutes later. Antonio Rüdiger was played as the last man, wanted to put it back on Courtois. In doing so, he accidentally ticked the ball with the left and then hit an air hole with the right. Dembélé had speculated on it, started and executed an ice cold.
Real threatened a disaster early, the game did not get going, new coach Xabi Alonso drove through the hair stunned several times on the sidelines. A coaching bank continued to annoy Luis Enrique Gestenreich that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia did not add 3-0 in the 17th minute, but seven minutes later he cheered again: Fabián had prevailed too easily against Federico Valverde after preparatory work by Dembélé and Ashraf Hakimi and did not give Courtois a chance.
PSG misses even higher leadership
After that, frustration visibly spread with the royal, and Aurélien Tchouaméni could be happy that he was kicked against Hakimi for his male shortly after the 3-0 with yellow. This campaign played in a playful way, however, if the hard foul had been a sign to the teammates for more aggressiveness, it fizzled out ineffective.
Instead, PSG continued to go up. Kvaratskhelia would have had to add 4-0 five minutes before the break. In the added time of the first half, Nuno Mendes also failed from a short distance from Courtois.
Modric comes and revives Real Madrid’s game
In the second round, Paris then switched down one or two gears, so that the opposing goal was real from time to time. The game was boosted from the 64th minute by Luka Modric, who came into the game for the completely ineffective Jew Bellingham.
For Modric, however, it was a sad farewell performance after a legendary time in Madrid: the game became a bit more open with him, but a turn was never in the air. On the contrary: shortly before the end, PSG turned seriously again, and promptly the real defense looked pretty disoriented again: first substitute Bradley Barcola dribbled two opponents in a confined space, then Gonçalo Ramos also put on a dance and executed it to the final score.
“Get an excellent game”
“It is always extremely difficult to play against real”said Spanish PSG coach Luis Enrique after the game. “But we got into the game excellently, the start was really impressive. The victory is deserved and now we are really excited to meet Chelsea in the final.”
Doppelpacker Fabián Ruiz saw it as well: “Chelsea has a strong, young team, but now we also want this title. But we have to deliver another performance like against Madrid, that was outstanding.”
