Game Recap

PSG set the tone early, capitalising on defensive errors from Real to surge into a commanding lead. Fabian Ruiz struck twice within 24 minutes, his first from a rebound following a Thibaut Courtois save, and his second after a precise counter led by Achraf Hakimi. Soon after, Ousmane Dembele, returning to form after resting earlier in the tournament, slotted home an excellent finish at the nine-minute mark. The cherry on top came from sub Goncalo Ramos late in the match, rounding out a perfect 4-0 result.

Under Luis Enrique, PSG’s fluid and cohesive unit ran rings around Real’s makeshift backline. They moved the ball with pace and intent, exploiting gaps that had been shredded by early errors. Real, in contrast, looked disjointed and defensively poor. Xabi Alonso’s return to a four-man defence only deepened cracks that PSG exploited ruthlessly.

What It Means

PSG extend their unbeaten streak to five competitions, adding another highlight to a sensational season that already includes domestic, Champions League, and now Club World Cup final ambitions.

Real Madrid face serious questions over their rebuilding efforts. Their backup defence was exposed, and manager Xabi Alonso acknowledged the need for a reset before the new season.
