In an emphatic display at the FIFA Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) asserted dominance over Real Madrid with a resounding 4-0 victory. The opening salvo from PSG was particularly striking, with three goals being scored within the first 24 minutes, setting the tone early against a usually resilient Real Madrid side. PSG's attacking efficiency was undeniable, as they converted their early chances effectively, exploiting defensive lapses from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, despite being usually strong in midfield, struggled to maintain possession and impose themselves against a well-drilled PSG unit. Although Real Madrid managed to earn six corner kicks compared to PSG's three, their inability to convert these set pieces into tangible opportunities was evident. This highlights PSG’s effective defensive organization and Real Madrid's lack of creativity in the final third.

The discipline factor played a less significant role in the outcome, though it was worth noting that both teams accumulated an equal number of fouls (9 each). However, Real Madrid’s two yellow cards indicated a level of frustration and inability to handle PSG’s fluid attacking play. PSG’s solitary yellow card late in the first half had little impact as they already had a comfortable lead.

Subtle elements of PSG's gameplay, such as perfectly timed offsides, showed their tactical sharpness. With PSG being caught offside four times, it also underscored their aggressive forward movement. Real Madrid, on the other hand, failed to catch PSG offside even once, further indicating passive defensive positioning. The contrasting determination and adaptability of PSG enabled them to exploit Real Madrid's vulnerabilities, reflecting a tactical masterclass by them.
