East Rutherford

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) delivered a dominant performance against Real Madrid, winning 4-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals at MetLife Stadium. Early goals from Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembele set the tone, with Ruiz scoring again in the 24th minute and Gonzalo Ramos adding a late goal. 

The match was delayed due to traffic, but PSG maintained their unbeaten record in the tournament and have yet to concede a goal. Real Madrid struggled to recover after conceding early and were unable to find their rhythm. PSG will now face Chelsea in the final, aiming for their first Club World Cup title.

PSG rout Real Madrid 4-0 to reach Club World Cup final

Maria Santana, who's right there at MetLife Stadium. Maria, thanks so much for joining us. Wow. What an emphatic scoreline. The match was actually delayed, wasn't it, due to traffic reasons. But that certainly didn't stop Paris Saint-Germain. They look so good. Well, I mean, the lesson for anybody coming to MetLife Stadium during one of these matches or in a big event is come early because the traffic around the venue is absolutely crazy. So I am very surprised that both teams apparently were delayed by traffic. Their buses stuck in that mess. But like you said, that did not stop the PSG from handedly defeating the Real Madrid. And I have to tell you, there are a lot of disappointed fans leaving the stadium today, 77,000 in attendance. And the majority of them, from what I could see, were wearing Real Madrid jerseys. So they got nothing. They wanted so desperately something to cheer for. But after those two early goals by the PSG, one by Fabian Ruiz and the other one by Ousmane Dembele in the first 10 minutes, well, the Real Madrid just never really seemed to recover. They were rattled. They could never sort of gel as a team, find their rhythm. And then, of course, in the 24th minute, Fabian Ruiz did it again. That was sort of like the final nail in the coffin, but not so much because then with three minutes left, of course, Gonzalo Ramos with that beautiful goal. And now PSG, you know, they've had a perfect, perfect run during this tournament, zero defeats. They are undefeated and they have not allowed a single goal. So, of course, they come out as the heavy favorite for Sunday's championship against Chelsea. Yeah, they look absolutely superb. Paris Saint-Germain, European champions looking fantastic. As I said, though, it's not often Real Madrid get beaten so heavily. How much will this scoreline hurt them? Because it was, it was a thrashing. Well, yeah, I mean, I think this is more hurting to their ego, maybe to their prestige. They're probably, you know, going to be hurt for a little bit, especially because, you know, Kylian Mbappé, he was supposed to be a factor in this match. It was his return as a starter after dealing with an illness, a gastrointestinal illness during much of this tournament. But he really wasn't present today. And, you know, he did post a picture earlier, just a couple of hours before the match, wearing the PSG jersey, kind of taunting his former team with the word goat blurred out in the background, the greatest of all time. So I'm sure he would have loved to have a better performance during this tournament after during this match, specifically after, you know, that controversial exit from the PSG team amid contract disputes. But it's still, you know, a team that is getting to know each other. They had that big surprise of the tournament, which was Gonzalo Garcia, who had four goals, 21 years old, the forward striker who was replacing Mbappé while he was out. And, you know, he really came through for the team. So, you know, they're getting the act together and they hope, you know, to take this opportunity to grow, to move forward with their new coach as well and, you know, come back strong during the next tournament. Yeah, definitely a painful result for Mbappé, no question about that. All right. So the final is set, then we got PSG against England's Chelsea. How do you assess that championship decider on Sunday? I mean, you know, it's hard watching what I saw today, some of the best football I think I personally have ever seen in my lifetime to not, you know, give the odds to the PSG, especially after the fantastic year that they are having. This would be their first Club World Cup championship. So they're looking to make history yet again. But of course, the Chelsea is a very strong team. This would be their second Club World Cup championship. You know, they have a couple of advantages like PSG is going to still be missing some of their key defenders in that next match because they were given two banned suspensions for violent conduct during the quarterfinals. So they can take advantage of that. And also, you know, João Pedro, he just joined the team and he has already turned into, you know, quite the player for Chelsea. And they're hoping, you know, that he comes through again. Two goals in the last game in his first start with the team. So there are a lot of advantages. They are young players, cohesive team, a strong team with a great history. But of course, you know, the way PSG is playing right now, hard for them not to be the favorite on Sunday. Yeah, I hear you, Maria. Thank you so much for joining us. They're great perspectives from New Jersey for us.
