END OF THE MATCH!
THE MATCH IS OVER! THE MATCH IS OVER! The referee decided not to give extra time and the match ended in the 90th minute. PSG ARE THE CLUB WORLD CUP FINALISTS! Great victory for Luis Enrique's men, who after this 4-0 win over Real Madrid, will dispute the title against Chelsea.
GOOOOAL!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL! GOAL for PSG! Goncalo Ramos scores! The Portuguese striker appears to receive the ball after one more counter-attack of the French team and in front of the passivity of the rival defense, he finished with a shot to the right post of Courtois. Celebration with a dedication to Diogo Jota.
There is a new substitution in the match. This time, Xabi Alonso decides to give Lucas Vázquez the chance to play and he comes on to take Arda Güler's place. Last variation of Real Madrid Madrid to finish.
There is a substitution in the match for PSG. Coach Luis Enrique decides to give the opportunity to Kang-in Lee to take the place of Nuno Mendes in these last minutes. Last changes for the French team.
We are reaching the final stretch of the match. PSG dropped their intensity considerably against a Real Madrid side that offered little or nothing in attack. Luis Enrique's men are getting closer and closer to the final of the Club World Cup.
Yellow card. Second caution in the match, after Dani Carvajal brought down Bradley Barcola in the middle of the pitch. It's the first for Real Madrid... The final stretch of the match is approaching.
A new substitution is coming for Real Madrid. Dani Carvajal returns to the field. The fullback makes his presence felt after missing most of the season due to injury. Gonzalo García leaves the field.
Real Madrid began to constantly send crosses into the PSG area, but there was no clarity to finish the play. The introduction of Luka Modric gives them the option of having a bit more of the ball to look for space.
Three substitutions are made for Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso kicks the board and sends on Eder Militao, Luka Modric and Brahim Diaz to replace Raul Asencio, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. We will see what Madrid achieves with these substitutions.
We passed the first quarter of an hour in the second half. Real Madrid are starting to get into the box, but the difference in the physical aspect is very noticeable... PSG are playing with much more tranquility and Xabi Alonso's men are feeling the fatigue when they reach the opponent's area.
The first substitutions of the match came with a couple of changes for PSG. Goncalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola came on in place of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Fresh legs to try to maintain the intensity.
The clock is ticking in the second half. Real Madrid looks conservative with the structure they have, they have managed to pass more of the midfield because PSG allows them to, but they are still pretty inoffensive.
First minutes of the second half. PSG continue to leave the impression that they are superior to Real Madrid even though they have decided to stop being the protagonist in attack. Xabi Alonso's team is trying to take the ball again, but has not done any damage.
SECOND HALF BEGINS!
SECOND HALF KICKS OFF AT THE METLIFE STADIUM! The referee gives the order for the match between PSG and Real Madrid to restart. The coaches have decided not to make any substitutions in their teams.
End of first half
END! The first half is over at MetLife Stadium. After a defective cross that almost ends up surprising Thibaut Courtois, the referee decides to end the first leg of the match. For now, it's a resounding 3-0 victory for PSG over Real Madrid.
The first yellow card of the match is shown. The referee decides to caution Joao Neves for grabbing Arda Güler by the shirt as he was running away from his own area to start a counter-attack after a save by Courtois from a shot by Nuno Mendes.
The first half is coming to an end. Before blowing the whistle, the referee decides to restart three minutes, where we will see if Real Madrid manages to take a step forward to reach the discount on the scoreboard. The score remains 3-0.
The end of the first half is approaching. For now Real Madrid continues to hold on with their new structure, with the help of Gonzalo Garcia on the right. They are not going to recover for long at the end of the first half.
PSG had a chance! Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's tremendous run down the left flank, he got into the box and drove Raul Asencio crazy before firing a shot across the face of goal, but the ball went wide of the left post.
We are entering the final stretch of the first half. PSG have outplayed Madrid in physical terms. Real Madrid recomposed the structure, moving from 3-4-3 to 4-4-2, moving Tchouameni to the middle and delaying the departure of Valverde and Fran Garcia.
We are past the half hour mark. There is a moment for the players to hydrate and maybe this will be good for Real Madrid to recompose their way of playing the game in the rest of the first half. We are still 3-0 up.
The half hour mark is approaching. Real Madrid is still unable to generate any goal options and physically they have been very inferior to what Luis Enrique's team is proposing. So far it is a complete overhaul of the French team.
GOOOOAL!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL! GOAL for PSG! Fabian Ruiz scores again! Great appearance by the midfielder to finish in great fashion a counter-attack orchestrated by Desire Doue with Ousmane Dembele. Bad comeback by Real Madrid's defense, which has yet to correct.
PSG came closer! Luis Enrique's team had another chance. The ball again went down the left looking for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, he got to the edge of the area and it was left to Achaf Hakimi, who shot low, but it went wide.
PSG is mostly attacking down the left, taking advantage of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agility to get the ball past or behind Federico Valverde and end up centralizing the play. The Champions League winners still lead 2-0.
We are reaching the first quarter of an hour in the match. Real Madrid is trying to take control of the ball to look for spaces in the opponent's defense, but they still look wary after the two mistakes they made recently.
GOOOOAL!
GOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOAL! GOAL for PSG, Ousmane Dembele scores! Quickly, the champion of the Champiosn League stretches the scoreboard taking advantage of the nap of the rival defense. This time Rudiger made a mistake and the Frenchman scored low to the right post.
GOOOOOAL!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOAL! GOAL for PSG! Fabian Ruiz scores! The midfielder took advantage of a huge mistake by Raul Asencio in the box trying to clear a cross and scored after the ball was loose. Quick advantage!
PSG HAD IT TWICE! First two appearances by Thibaut Courtois! Unbelievable what the Belgian goalkeeper just saved in a matter of a minute. First it was against Fabián Ruiz and in the following play, a shot from the front to save with his knee.
THE MATCH IS UNDERWAY!
THE MATCH IS UNDERWAY! The referee gives the order to move the ball by blowing his whistle and the PSG vs Real Madrid game of the Club World Cup semifinals is underway at the MetLife Stadium. We will see who will join Chelsea in the final next Sunday.
