PSG thrash Real Madrid to set up Club World Cup final with Chelsea

European champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), on Wednesday, thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup to set up a final showdown with Chelsea.

Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembele scored inside the opening nine minutes to stun Real and silence the majority of the 77,542 crowd who were wearing white at the MetLife Stadium outside New York in United States.

Ruiz added another before half-time and Goncalo Ramos got a late fourth as PSG moved one game away from glory at FIFA’s new tournament.

Victory against Chelsea on Sunday would complete a campaign of unparalleled success for the Parisians, who won the French title and then the first UEFA Champions League in their history in May.

PSG manager Luis Enrique said: “We are in a special season, a special moment, and we deserved to win.

“We are going to try, one more step against a good team like Chelsea. They did great, they performed the whole competition and now it is time for us to prepare for that. We want to make history in our club, and then take some holidays.”
