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

Paris Saint-Germain produced a stunning 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid to set up a Club World Cup final against Chelsea.

Only a month on from beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, Luis Enrique's side delivered another statement performance which gives them the chance to cap an incredible season with a world title at New York's MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

There was never any doubt they would claim their place in the final after a rampant 18-minute spell in the first half which began when a heavy touch from Raul Asencio inside the Real Madrid box allowed Ousmane Dembele to set up Fabian Ruiz's sixth-minute opener.

Three minutes later, a miskick from Asencio's centre-back partner Antonio Rudiger allowed Dembele to race through on goal and coolly beat Thibaut Courtois to double Paris Saint-Germain's lead.

Real Madrid were reeling and it got even worse for them when Ruiz added his second and Paris Saint-Germain's third from Achraf Hakimi's cut-back following a scintillating passing move.

Real Madrid, who lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury before the game, tried to regain a foothold by sending on Luka Modric for his final appearance for the club, but substitute Goncalo Ramos added a breakaway fourth to spark more Paris Saint-Germain celebrations.

Already European champions, Paris Saint-Germain will return to the MetLife Stadium on Sunday as strong favourites to win against Enzo Maresca's Chelsea and add yet another piece of silverware having won a domestic double as well as the Champions League.

For Real Madrid and their new head coach Xabi Alonso, the challenge is to put an embarrassing end to their Club World Cup campaign behind them as they prepare for life after veteran midfielder Modric, who was saluted by team-mates and fans following the final whistle.
