Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> stunned Real Madrid with a ruthless 4-0 thrashing in their Club World Cup<\/a> semi-final clash on Wednesday night to set up a showdown with Chelsea<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSG were the better side from the first minute and could have been in front in the opening moments. But Ousmane Dembele’s shot was somehow saved by Thibaut Courtois from just yards out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabian Ruiz put the French side ahead after just five minutes with a simple tap-in following a calamitous mistake from Raul Asencio. And almost moments later, Dembele got his goal, capitalising on another awful error from Antonio Rudiger before calmly slotting home to leave PSG in dreamland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruiz got his second by rounding off a breathless PSG attack as he thumped home from Achraf Hakimi’s square ball to make it three and leave Madrid shell-shocked. Madrid had no answers in the second half and PSG were able to sit on their lead. Luis Enrique’s side even had time to add a fourth through Goncalo Ramos late on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the two teams rated during the star-studded contest at the MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSG player ratings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6 –<\/strong> Wasn’t required much in the first half but popped up with a couple of decent stops — including from Mbappe — after the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achraf Hakimi – 8 – <\/strong>Gave Real Madrid nightmares with his menacing runs, pressing high and bombing down the right as he registered an impressive assist to set up Ruiz’s second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marquinhos – 7 – <\/strong>Imperious display at the back. Didn’t give Mbappe or Vinicius Jr a moment’s peace and kept PSG’s backline solid amid the threat of counter attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beraldo – 7 –<\/strong> Calm and assured with some nice touches at the back to keep PSG’s momentum flowing from defence. Held his own against a dangerous attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuno Mendes – 8 –<\/strong> Superb block to stop dangerous Vinicius Jr attack in first half and didn’t put a foot wrong all game. Strong in the tackle and quickly shut down any sniff of Madrid attacks coming his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joao Neves – 8 –<\/strong> Unsettled Madrid with his aggression and even frustrated ex-team-mate Mbappe by thwarting him in the box. Tidy passing and played some great one-twos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitinha – 8 –<\/strong> Looked like a kid in the playground the way he glided around the pitch effortlessly. Has to be one of the top central midfielders in the world right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabian Ruiz – 9 –<\/strong> What a first half this man had. An early shot saved, then two calm finishes to finish off some superb PSG attacks. The coolest man on the pitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 (3) and Achraf Hakimi (2) both created more chances than the entire Real Madrid side combined (1) in the first half.
