PSG 4-0 Real Madrid:<\/strong> Dazzling first-half display sees Parisians wrap up famous win over Los Blancos

<\/a>PSG<\/a> beat Real Madrid<\/a> 4-0 with a dazzling display to seal a place in the Club World Cup<\/a> final.
Xabi Alonso<\/a>\u2019s side were squeezed from the opening minutes and it showed when Ousmane Dembele nipped in to dispossess Raul Asencio before Fabian Ruiz tapped in.
And PSG had doubled their lead by the ninth minute, with Antonio Rudiger fluffing his lines and allowing Dembele to stroke in an accomplished finish.
The European champions continued to harry Madrid, with the Spaniards unable to get a foothold before a blistering PSG counter saw Achraf Hakimi set up Ruiz for the third.
And the damage was done in the first half, with Madrid toiling but unable to wrestle their way back into it as the Parisians closed out the game with Goncalo Ramos adding a fourth late on.
It was a brilliant result for PSG, and it\u2019s now only Chelsea who stand in the way of Luis Enrique<\/a>\u2019s side as they look to add a world title to their maiden Champions League trophy.

European champions Paris St Germain<\/a> produced a blistering performance to power into the Club World Cup final with a 4-0 rout of Real Madrid<\/a>.
A one-sided semi-final in New York on Wednesday was effectively settled inside the opening 24 minutes as Fabian Ruiz struck twice either side of an Ousmane Dembele<\/a> effort.
Spanish giants Real had no answer to the rampant Champions League <\/a>winners, who added a fourth goal at the MetLife Stadium late on through Goncalo Ramos.
Chelsea<\/a> are potentially 90 minutes away from becoming world champions after dispatching Fluminense in a dominant display<\/a> in their last-four clash.
The Blues haven\u2019t had the easiest ride to the Club World Cup<\/a> final, having suffered one of the first shocks of the tournament in a 3-1 group stage loss to Flamengo<\/a> before seeing their last 16 tie with Benfica<\/a> marred by a two-hour weather delay<\/a>.
They\u2019ve managed to battle through, though, overcoming their Brazilian demons to beat Palmeiras<\/a>, before a Joao Pedro brace gave them a win over the Tricolour to set up a date with destiny at New Jersey\u2019s MetLife Stadium.
Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2019s side now wait to see who they will face, with a finale meeting with either Real Madrid<\/a> or European champions Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> in their sights.
Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/em>
That match is Luka Modric\u2019s last in a Madrid shirt!<\/em>
Real Madrid<\/a>‘s Luka Modric<\/a> will join AC Milan<\/a> after the Club World Cup<\/a>, the Serie A<\/a> club’s newly-appointed manager Massimiliano Allegri<\/a> has confirmed confirmed.
The move means the 39-year-old midfielder, who announced in May that he would be leaving Madrid<\/a> after the Club World Cup, will bring his 13-year spell at the Spanish giants to a close.
“Modric will arrive in August. He is an extraordinary player,” Allegri said in his first press conference as Milan manager.
This was PSG’s 64th match of 2024\/25. That consists of 34 league games, 17 in the Champions League, six French Cup ties, six Club World Cup matches and one in the French Community Shield.
There\u2019ll be a 65th as they look to cap a historic season by becoming the first winners of the new Club World Cup.

Is it too soon to call this \u201cvintage PSG<\/a>\u201d? This iteration of the Parisian giants has only really begun to come into effect over the last eight months. But after watching the likes of Liverpool<\/a>, Arsenal<\/a> and Inter Milan<\/a> fall to their brilliance in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated their ability as a giant-killer on the global stage.
The mighty Real Madrid, one of the Club World Cup<\/a>\u2019s biggest draws to the American audience, were their latest victims.
To say that Xabi Alonso has been given a reality check in the Real hot seat might be a bit of a stretch. The levels between the side he\u2019s inherited and the footballing powerhouse sculpted by Luis Enrique<\/a> was apparent before a ball was kick. But if the former midfield maestro has his own hopes of \u201cmodernising\u201d at the Estadio Bernabeu, he has a long way to go before the Galacticos can scratch the surface of what has been created in Paris.
\u201cAt the beginning the setback was strong enough, we knew that the task would be tough,\u201d says Madrid manager Xabi Alonso.
\u201cToday, at the moment the feeling is not the best, but we\u2019ll have to try and learn from today. It\u2019ll take time.
\u201cAt the moment we need a proper break. This is not the beginning of next year, just the end of the season,\u201d he adds.
\u201cWe can take positives, and lessons from today. We\u2019re not the first to face such a good team, and today we\u2019ve faced one of the best in the world. We want to be there, but it\u2019ll take time,\u201d he says as he finishes.
Luis Enrique says that PSG \u201care happy with the performance\u201d.
\u201cI feel great. It\u2019s lways difficult to play that kind of match. We started very well.
\u201cIt\u2019s too much heat for me, you need to play in different conditions to watch a better show, but both teams did great.
\u201cWe\u2019re in a special season, a special moment, and we deserved to win,\u201d he adds.
On Dembele, he says: \u201cIt\u2019s the first match we could use Ousmane. He\u2019s the best player this season by a long way. He deserves to win everything because he gave everything to the team, and we\u2019re going to achieve trophies that are very important.\u201d
\u201cOne more step against a good team like Chelsea, they performed well the whole competition, but now it\u2019s time for us to prepare. We want to make history,\u201d he adds as he finishes.
