Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the Club World Cup final on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals. The reigning Champions League winners showed complete dominance on Wednesday, scoring three goals in the first half and adding a fourth three minutes from time.
In the final, PSG will face Chelsea, who defeated Fluminense in Tuesday’s semi-final. However, the Parisians will be without two key players — Pacho and Lucas Hernandez — both suspended after receiving red cards earlier in the tournament.
