Inter-Club World Cup Results 2025: PSG is too tough, Atletico is slaughtered 4-0!

Gilabola.com -Paris Saint-Germain opened their campaign at the Club World Cup with a convincing 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, in the Group B match held at Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California.

Start Perfect The European Champion

Four goals from Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Senny Mayulu, and Kang-in Lee were the initial markers of PSG impressive, who came to this tournament with the status of Champions League champions.

Although it did not appear as high as when destroying Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, Luis Enrique’s troops still showed sufficient professional performance to paralyze Atletico who appeared below standard.

Atletico had a threat in the early minutes when Julian Alvarez’s free kick slid thinly on the side of the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, PSG actually scored the first goal in the 18th minute. Fabian opened the scoring through a horizontal kick that led to the far pole, giving PSG the excellence at the beginning of the fight.

Total dominance and Atletico’s reaction that was unable to answer

PSG play style that is full of high pressure makes Atletico look confused and not compact. Fabian and Vitinha lead a solid midfield, dictate the tempo of the game and open a gap in Atleti’s back line.

Towards the end of the first half, PSG doubled the advantage through the action of Vitinha who completed a lightning attack from the back line with a calm shot against Jan Oblak’s goal. Even though a few seconds before, Antoine Griezmann had forced Donnarumma to work hard to keep the goal safe.

Atletico tried to raise the intensity at the beginning of the second half, but the situation was even worse. Clement Lenglet was in red card because the action was undisciplined when emotions began to heat up, while a number of Atlety players continued to collect cards for no apparent reason.

Had scored through Julian Alvarez after Desire Douue lost the ball and Pablo Barrios gave a mature pass, Atletico had to bite the fingers after Var annulled the goal because of the Koke’s violation of DOUE in the process of a goal.

Diego Simeone was unable to hide his frustration, replying to the referee’s decision with a sarcastic applause from the sidelines.

PSG goal party closed Kang-in Lee’s penalty

Senny Mayulu scored again like he did in the Champions League, this time through a hard kick following a wild ball in the penalty area. The momentum of PSG was unstoppable, and disaster for Atletico had not stopped.

Var again played a role in the final minutes when Robin Le Normand was declared to touch the ball with his hands after kicking Ibrahima Mbaye. Lee Kang-in without mercy executed a penalty and ensured a landslide victory for PSG.

In the midst of hot temperatures and high tension matches, young PSG players appeared mature and calm, showing the quality and mentality of the champions who brought them to lead Group B comfortably.
