PSG 4-0 Real Madrid, FIFA Club World Cup 2025 SF: Dembele, Ruiz Shine In Big Win For Parisians

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid 4‑0 in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 semi‑final at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, on Wednesday, 9 July 2025. Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembele shone for the Parisian giants, with the Frenchman dispossessing Raul Asencio and Ruiz slotting into an empty net in the sixth minute. Dembele doubled the lead in the 9th minute with a sharp finish following a mistake by Antonio Rudiger. Ruiz added his second in the 24th minute after a break by Achraf Hakimi. PSG dominated ball possession throughout, and substitute Goncalo Ramos scored a fourth with three minutes left after some slick footwork from Bradley Barcola. The big win booked PSG a place in the final, where they will face Chelsea.
