Ruiz Dembele Hakimi PSG GFX
Luis Enrique's side blew Los Blancos away to set up a meeting with the Blues in New Jersey in Sunday's final
Paris Saint-Germain flexed their muscles to secure a 4-0 win over Real Madrid in their Club World Cup semi-final on Wednesday. Fabian Ruiz netted twice while Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos also got on the scoresheet for the rampant European champions to set up a meeting with Chelsea in Sunday's final.
Ruiz and Dembele had both already tested Thibaut Courtois before they combined to break the deadlock in the sixth minute, with Dembele able to rob Raul Asencio inside the Madrid penalty area before Ruiz able to provide the close-range finish. Dembele then doubled the lead just three minutes later when he dispossessed Antonio Rudiger and ran in unopposed to fire into the bottom corner.
Luis Enrique's side were utterly dominant in New Jersey, and made it three before the half-hour mark when a flowing move ended with Achraf Hakimi squaring for Ruiz to grab his second of the game. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia should probably have made it four, too, only to fire wide when well placed shortly before the break.
PSG took their foot off the gas somewhat in the second period, though they were still able to keep Madrid at arm's length before capping their performance with a fine finish by substitute Ramos after he was found by Bradley Barcola.

Paris Saint-Germain v Real Madrid CF: Semi Final - FIFA Club World Cup 2025
Goalkeeper & Defence
Gianluigi Donnarumma (6/10):
Had very little to do but didn't put a foot wrong when he was called upon.
Achraf Hakimi (8/10):
Combined superbly with Doue going forward, most notably to create the third goal for Ruiz, while showing excellent defensive nous to deal with the likes of Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham.
Marquinhos (7/10):
Never looked troubled by the Madrid forward line, and even bullied Mbappe at times.
Lucas Beraldo (7/10):
Stepped into the shoes of the suspended Pacho and ensured the Ecuadorian wasn't missed. Madrid tried to target him as best they could, but the Brazilian stood firm.
Nuno Mendes (8/10):
Was absolutely everywhere, particularly in the first half. Made a couple of superb last-ditch challenges while causing havoc with his late runs in attack.

Midfield
Joao Neves (7/10):
At his combative best when winning possession back in midfield. Did pick up a first-half booking, but didn't let that faze him.
Vitinha (8/10):
World football's classiest midfield operator again dictated the tempo with supreme ease. Set-pieces were dangerous, too.
Fabian Ruiz (9/10):
In the right place to find the net on two occasions, but that only told part of the Spaniard's story in an all-action display. Might not be a more underrated player in world football right now.

Attack
Desire Doue (7/10):
Ran Fran Garcia ragged at times as his blistering pace and quick feet left the Madrid left-back in the dirt. Final ball was lacking on occasion, but did play his part in the move for PSG's third goal.
Ousmane Dembele (9/10):
Forced mistakes out of both Asencio and Rudiger within the first nine minutes that led to PSG's opening two goals. Showed exactly why he remains the Ballon d'Or favourite.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (8/10):
Electric down the left-hand side, all that was missing from the Georgian's performance was a goal as his finishing let him down on a couple of occasions.

Subs & Manager
Goncalo Ramos (7/10):
Had a couple of half-chances before showing good feet to net the fourth in the closing minutes.
Bradley Barcola (7/10):
Got in behind multiple times before his quick feet helped set up Ramos for his goal.
Warren Zaire-Emery (6/10):
Kept PSG ticking over in midfield after replacing Ruiz.
Senny Mayulu (6/10):
Put his foot in after being thrown on for the final quarter of the game.
Lee Kang-in (N/A):
On for the final 10 minutes.
Luis Enrique (9/10):
His team basically picks itself nowadays, but they look as hungry as ever to add another trophy to their growing collection. Right now, they look pretty unstoppable.
