PSG Crushes Real Madrid as Mbappé Watches Former Team Dominate
Wow, what a match we just witnessed. PSG didn’t just beat Real Madrid—they dismantled them in the first half alone. If you’re a Paris fan, you’re probably still catching your breath. And if you’re Kylian Mbappé, well… this one must’ve hurt. Facing his former club in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Mbappé and Real were simply outclassed, outpaced, and outplayed.
From the very first whistle at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, PSG made their intentions clear. They came to win, and they came hard. The tempo was electric, and the intensity? Off the charts. It took just six minutes for Fabian Ruiz to open the scoring after a defensive blunder from Asensio. Only three minutes later, Dembélé punished yet another mistake, this time from Rüdiger, to double the lead. And before the 25th minute had even struck, Ruiz was back at it again, calmly slotting in a third goal to make it 3-0. The scoreboard was shocking, but the performance? It told the full story.

The Real Madrid defense looked like they were caught in headlights. Passive, disorganized, and seemingly unprepared for the speed and precision of PSG’s attack. While Paris flowed with confidence, Real stumbled through the half like they were stuck in quicksand. Possession stats were brutal—PSG dominated the ball, holding nearly 75% of it through the opening half-hour. At times, the Merengue midfield couldn’t even string two passes together. Even the crowd, heavily tilted in Madrid’s favor, started whistling in frustration.
Mbappé’s night turned into a personal nightmare. Physically present but tactically neutralized, he failed to make any real impact. Whether it was Neves dispossessing him with clean tackles or Marquinhos blocking his runs, it was clear that Paris had done their homework. In a painful twist of fate, it was Dembélé and Ruiz—the ones left behind—who lit up the night with flair and finishing.
And let’s not forget the context here: this isn’t just another match. It’s a Club World Cup semi-final, with the winner eyeing a showdown with Chelsea in the final and a possible jackpot of over €120 million. PSG, now with one foot firmly in the final, are showing not only ambition but dominance on the global stage. This is a team that looks sharper than ever—faster, stronger, and more ruthless than in past campaigns.
With Didier Deschamps and Fabio Capello watching from the stands, PSG made a statement not just to Real Madrid, but to the entire footballing world. This wasn’t just a win. It was a performance of authority—a performance that signals Paris is ready to conquer more than just Ligue 1.
Now, all eyes are on the final. But for tonight, PSG can bask in one of their finest nights in recent memory. As for Mbappé and Real… back to the drawing board.
