PSG 4-0 REAL MADRID – SEMIFINAL DISASTER! My Instant Reaction

The Dream Crumbles…

Real Madrid came into this Club World Cup semifinal with hope—facing Chelsea in the final seemed possible. But standing in their way? The best team on the planet right now: PSG.

Los Blancos showed improvement under Xabi Alonso, but was it enough? Not even close. Kylian Mbappé was ruthless against his former club, while Madrid’s makeshift defense—Fede Valverde filling in at right-back, Raúl Asencio replacing the injured Dean Huijsen—looked shaky from the start.

First Half Nightmare

For a brief moment, it seemed Madrid could compete—Thibaut Courtois pulled off an UNREAL save early, a glimpse of his brilliance. But then… disaster struck.

⚽ 1-0: Asencio’s horrific mistake gifted Fabián Ruiz an easy tap-in.
⚽ 2-0: Rüdiger caught sleeping—Dembélé doubled the lead in just 8 minutes!
⚽ 3-0: Before the 25th minute, Fabián struck AGAIN. Game over.

Madrid’s attack? Nonexistent. PSG? Total domination.

Second Half – No Resurgence

A brief flicker of hope when PSG’s early goal was (luckily) ruled offside. Madrid showed some fight late, with Éder Militão forcing a save—but Luka Modrić’s final Madrid appearance was a sad footnote in this humiliation.

Then, the dagger: Gonçalo Ramos with a STUNNER to make it 4-0.

Full-Time Thoughts

Xabi Alonso’s project is still young, but this was a brutal reality check. PSG? A machine.
