Paris Saint-Germain Vs Atletico Madrid Highlights, FIFA Club World Cup 2025: PSG Thrash Atleti 4-0 In Statement Victory

Hello! We바카라�re back with another live blog, and this time it바카라�s Paris Saint-Germain vs Atletico Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Stay tuned for live updates as the action unfolds. Kick-off is at 12:30 AM IST.

Paris Saint-Germain begin their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign against Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Sunday night (12:30 AM IST, June 16), riding high after a historic treble-winning season. Fresh from their 5-0 demolition of Inter in the Champions League final, PSG arrive in top form, with Luis Enrique expected to field the same XI, featuring the in-form trio of Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Ousmane Dembélé.

Atlético Madrid, though trophyless in recent seasons, remain a tough challenge under Diego Simeone. With Griezmann and Julián Álvarez likely to lead the line in a classic 4-4-2, Atleti will look to disrupt PSG바카라�s momentum and make a strong start themselves.

Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético Madrid have met just once before, in a dramatic encounter on November 6, 2024. That night, Angel Correa struck a 93rd-minute winner in Paris, sealing a last-gasp victory for Atlético and leaving PSG바카라�s Champions League hopes hanging by a thread during the league stage.

What followed was a remarkable turnaround. Despite the setback, PSG regrouped, steadied their campaign, and went on to win the Champions League, capping off a season that will be remembered as one of the most dominant in the club바카라�s history.

Ousmane Dembele is absent from PSG바카라�s lineup tonight after sustaining a thigh injury during France바카라�s Nations League match against Spain. He has been training individually with a physio, and while he misses this opener, his availability for the next game against Botafogo is still unclear.

The countdown hits zero and we바카라�re underway. PSG waste no time, launching the ball diagonally forward from the centre circle. It sails out near the corner flag, deep in Atlético바카라�s half, a clear signal of their early intent to push high and pin the Spaniards back.

Julian Alvarez nearly puts Atlético ahead with a beautifully struck free-kick just four minutes in. He curls it around the wall, bending it toward the right post with precision and power. The effort had Donnarumma rooted, but the ball whistles just wide. A big let-off for PSG.

A glimpse of opportunity for PSG as Nuno Mendes charges forward from left-back, just as he did to great effect in the Champions League final. The ball reaches him at pace, but it bounces awkwardly, and his header loops harmlessly out of play. A promising move, but no end product.

Fabian Ruiz breaks the deadlock with a clinical strike into the bottom-right corner, giving PSG a well-earned lead. The pressure had been building, and it finally pays off as Ruiz picks up the ball just outside the box, slightly left of centre.

He finds a pocket of space and lashes a left-footed shot past Jan Oblak, who dives full stretch but can't reach it. A deserved goal for the dominant Parisians, now the onus is on Atlético to respond.

PSG 1-0 Atlético Madrid

Things get heated as Mendes appears to foul Simeone while the two battle for position. Mendes extends an arm to hold off the young forward, who goes down under the contact. Mendes clutches the back of his head in pain, but Simeone바카라�s father, Diego, is fuming on the sidelines. The referee, however, only awards a throw-in to Atlético.

On first glance, it looked like it could바카라�ve been a much more serious offence, possibly even red card territory.

PSG seem to be playing in deliberate spurts, surging forward with intensity for short bursts before slowing things right down, effectively dictating the tempo. It바카라�s a smart approach, especially with Atlético struggling to impose any rhythm of their own.

Desire Doue pulls off a clever turn near the byline, catching his marker flat-footed. He lifts a teasing ball into the centre, looking for a teammate in the box. But Marcos Llorente reads it perfectly, positioning himself well to head the danger clear and keep Atlético in the contest.

Right after Griezmann바카라�s wasted chance at the other end, PSG hit back with a ruthless counterattack, and it ends with a moment of brilliance from Vitinha. Fabian Ruiz sparks the move with a perfectly weighted ball into space. Vitinha glides forward, creates just enough room, and curls a stunning shot into the bottom-right corner, leaving Oblak no chance.

It바카라�s a clinical finish and a hammer blow for Atlético just before the break.

PSG 2-0 Atlético Madrid

PSG take a deserved 2-0 lead into the break, with goals from Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha capping off a dominant first half. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been at the heart of it all, providing both assists with sharp vision and control. Atlético have offered little going forward and face a mountain to climb under the California sun.

Out of nowhere, Atlético Madrid find a lifeline, and it바카라�s Julián Álvarez who delivers. The move starts when Désiré Doué goes to ground, and Atlético waste no time exploiting the gap. Barrios slips a smart pass through to Álvarez, who finds himself completely free on the left flank.

Álvarez drives into the box, takes his time, and curls a composed finish past Donnarumma into the far corner. It바카라�s a clinical strike that cuts PSG바카라�s lead in half, but hold on, VAR is now checking for a possible foul on Doué in the buildup.

Atlético Madrid바카라�s celebrations are cut short as VAR steps in and rules out Julián Álvarez바카라�s goal. After a thorough review, the officials determine that Koke had fouled Désiré Doué in the buildup, awarding PSG a free-kick deep in their own half.

Diego Simeone responds in trademark fashion, mockingly applauding the decision from the sidelines. No surprise there.

As the players pause for a scheduled cooling break, both sides take the opportunity to make changes. Atlético bring on Alexander Sorloth, with Rodrigo Barrios making way. PSG also freshen things up, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Lee Kang-In enter the fray, replacing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Fabián Ruiz, both of whom played key roles in the first-half goals.

A huge chance goes begging for Atlético as Alexander Sørloth fluffs his lines from point-blank range. The cross from the right finds him perfectly positioned in front of goal, but with the net at his mercy, he blazes it over the bar.

Diego Simeone can바카라�t believe it, dropping to his knees in despair as yet another opportunity slips away. His frustration on the sidelines says it all.

Senny Mayulu caps off a dominant PSG display with a brilliant finish to make it three. It begins with a lofted ball towards Achraf Hakimi on the right, who draws Jan Oblak out of position before sliding it across the face of goal. The pass pinballs around before landing at Mayulu바카라�s feet on the left side of the box.

With one smooth turn and a confident strike, the youngster beats Oblak at his near post, sealing PSG바카라�s statement win in style.

Lee Kang-In puts the final nail in Atlético바카라�s coffin with a cool finish into the bottom-left corner. With the defence all over the place and Oblak stranded, Kang-In calmly slots it home to complete PSG바카라�s rout.

Moments later, the referee blows for full-time, confirming a commanding 4-0 victory for the Ligue 1 champions.

That바카라�s a wrap! Thanks for joining us, catch you soon with another live blog. Until then, bye bye and take care.
