EAST RUTHERFORD: Paris Saint-Germain stormed into the FIFA Club World Cup final with a dominant 4-0 win over Real Madrid, led by a standout performance from Fabian Ruiz, who netted twice.
Ousmane Dembélé added a goal and an assist, while substitute Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory late in the 87th minute. The French side raced to a 3-0 lead within the first 24 minutes, silencing a largely pro-Madrid crowd.
It was a tough night for Kylian Mbappé, who faced his former club for the first time since joining Madrid. Despite starting the match after two games on the bench, Mbappé started up front alongside Gonzalo García, but was held off by the scoresheet. Gianluigi Donnarumma made two saves, including one early stop on Mbappé, but PSG were rarely troubled.
