Paris Saint-Germain burst out of the tunnel intent on dominating possession, and during the opening ten minutes the French champions pinned Real Madrid deep in their own half. Lionel Messi orchestrated the tempo from a free-roaming position, threading an early through ball that allowed Kylian Mbappé to sting Thibaut Courtois’ gloves. The breakthrough arrived in the 13th minute when Neymar whipped in a corner, Sergio Ramos flicked on at the near post and Marquinhos stabbed home from close range to put PSG 1-0 up. Rather than retreat, the Paris side kept pressing; Messi rattled the crossbar with a curling left-footer, but the missed chance would soon look costly.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men settled and began exploiting the space behind PSG’s advanced full-backs. Luka Modrić sprayed diagonal balls to Vinícius Júnior, whose direct running forced Achraf Hakimi into a booking. On 28 minutes, Vinícius cut inside and forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into a sprawling save, yet the loose ball fell perfectly for Karim Benzema to level at 1-1. The equaliser flipped the momentum. Five minutes before half-time, Modrić slipped a clever reverse pass to Federico Valverde; the Uruguayan squared for Benzema, who finished first time at the near post. Real Madrid entered the break leading 2-1, having scored twice from their only two clear openings.

The second half opened with more end-to-end drama befitting a FIFA Club World Cup semi-final. PSG reasserted themselves when Vitinha, fresh off the bench, intercepted a Madrid clearance and unleashed a swerving 25-yard strike that Courtois could only parry into Mbappé’s path. The French star prodded in to restore parity at 2-2 and celebrated with the travelling PSG supporters behind the goal. Moments later, a goal-mouth scramble saw Dani Carvajal clear off the line, underlining the razor-thin margins. Madrid responded by introducing Rodrygo, whose immediate pace stretched the Paris back line, forcing Donnarumma into two successive saves.

The decisive moment arrived in the 79th minute. Benzema, chasing a hat-trick, drifted wide to lure Ramos out of position, slipped the ball to Vinícius, and spun into the box. Vinícius returned a chipped cross that Benzema nodded past Donnarumma for 3-2, completing a classic Madrid comeback and igniting the neutral crowd. PSG poured numbers forward—Messi clipped a free-kick inches over, while Courtois produced a fingertip save from Neymar in stoppage time—but Los Blancos held firm with Éder Militão marshalling the defence.

When the whistle sounded, Real Madrid clinched a thrilling 3-2 victory to advance to the FIFA Club World Cup final. Benzema’s clinical hat-trick underlined his status as the tournament’s decisive striker, while Vinícius Júnior’s relentless wing play and Modrić’s midfield mastery proved pivotal. PSG, despite eye-catching spells of dominance and standout performances from Messi and Mbappé, were left to rue missed chances. The extended highlights showcase elite attacking football, dramatic momentum swings and the relentless intensity that defines clashes between PSG and Real Madrid on the global stage.
