PARIS Saint-Germain thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 tonight to set up a FIFA Club World Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday.
The semi-final clash at the MetLife Stadium was over as a contest within 24 minutes as the UEFA Champions League winners tore the Spanish giants apart.
Fabian Ruiz scored twice, with the brilliant Ousmane Dembele and substitute Goncalo Ramos adding the other goals in the one-sided rout.
Ruiz tapped in the opening goal in the sixth minute following an error from Real defender Raul Asencio — after the referee let play continue following Thibaut Courtois’ foul on Dembele in the box.
France forward Dembele raced away three minutes later to finish calmly after a mis-kick from the usually infallible Antonio Rudiger.
Ruiz then slotted home the third after excellent work by Achraf Hakimi and Dembele.
Real Madrid, who were missing the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, offered little in response and Ramos added a late fourth for PSG to cap a dominant display.
