What a massive performance from PSG players, just before 10 minute they have score two goals against Real Madrid. Though, if not for the two wonderful save by Real Madrid goalkeeper I think by now it would have been 4 goals against them.

However, with the way the game is going right now I think PSG might likely secured the game, because even though Real Madrid defense seems quite easy for PSG to break.

[blomen]

paris saint-germain seem to have found the football cheat code or something like that. every ball that real madrid loses in the midfield, with a few passes, turns into a goal chance against them within seconds. real madrid even gifted them 2 of the 3 goals they conceded. what psg did doesn't seem that difficult because they do what they always do in football. but there are big deficiencies in the real madrid defense, at least against psg.

psg 3 - 0 rma.

My greatest surprise is how PSG easily penetrate their opponents defense and score with ease. Madrid does not have the quality to match that of PSG. It's clear that PSG has defeated Madrid because they will keep scoring more goals. Xabi Alonso and his men are collecting woto woto from PSG. How will Mbappe feel now that his former club is humiliating his new club.

Ohhhoooo!!! madrid conceded the first  goal in just 5 minutes of the match due to a mistake by asencio . Fabian RUiz scored in just 5 minutes to give PSG the lead . And just 2 minutes later , dembele scored to give PSG a 2-0 lead. And the interesting thing is that this goal was also due to a mistake by Madrid's experienced defender rudiger. It is difficult to accept such a mistake at the beginning   of such an important match.

We were expecting a competitive match. Madrid conceded two goals early on and fell behind. Without a doubt, Madrid will now have to increase their attack speed. However , it will also be very difficult to resist PSG's powerful counterattacks. I will not be surprised at all if Madrid loses by a big margin today

It has proven to be a dangerous and frustrating night for Real Madrid. As we all are expecting Real Madrid to intensify their attack and the definitely equalize this match the worse is happening.
Real Madrid is very much uncoordinated;
The paraded a shallow defense this night;
I feel for Xavi Alonso;
He would have remained where he was doing very well;
Why does it keep benching Rodrigo;
In fact I don't even know what to blame and who to blame but Real Madrid defense is a total bash tonight

Might is an understatement. They should just end the Match and push them to the Final.
I regret watching the match ngl. I left when it was two goals to nil.
Worse time in being a Real Madrid fan, unfortunately is not easy to change club.
I guess Love really do breeds pain
Sigh just wanted a place to complain. I really don't want to say anything about Ascension and Rudiger.

[GxSTxV]

It's a heartbreaking for me to see Real Madrid getting destroyed by Dembélé and his commarads, already three goals in 30 minutes? When was the last time we see this scenario. However, this is the first test for Xavi Alonso, a real challenge for him to reduce the damage at least.
As a big fan of Real Madrid, I can say that PSG is way strong than any current team now, away from emotions, I don't expect any Remontada from Real Madrid. Hopefully, we don't see a large and heavy score, maybe this is just a revenge from Paris for all the previous years they got beaten by Madrid.

It's 3:0 at the moment within 24 minutes played. Of a truth, nothing about this result in favour of PSG surprises me as I have knew that they were going to win the game against Madrid in a grand style, only that I never thought it that the goals were going to pour in this early. Meehnnn... This guy's are running wide and it's obvious we are going to see more goals aside the 3 already in place.

psg 3 - 0 rma.

Real Madrid will be playing the rest of the match knowing that winning tonight is impossible. With PSG performance, no team is capable of returning 3 goals against PSG not even Real Madrid. At this point it is over for Xabi Alonso as they get kicked out from qualifying for Club World Cup Final.

For now the scores are only 3 - 0, it makes sense if i predict another goal from PSG, or they plan to make the scores exactly as they did to Inter Miami but Real Madrid don't deserve this beating, mistakes happen but we know the better side.

It's now 3-0. Luis Enrique has been able to identify the weaknesses of Madrid's defense very well. I saw a big weakness in Madrid's defense in the third goal. PSG players have found the gaps in Madrid's defense well, Rabian Ruiz scored a great goal from Hakimi's assist. This is Fabian Ruiz's second goal.

Madrid conceded all three goals because of their defense weaknesses. We haven't seen any improvement in Madrid's defense yet. It will be very difficult for Real Madrid to perform well against big teams with 3 defenders. I guess Xabi Alonso will change his formation in the next few days

This is just the beginning, I am expecting more of Alonso will continue with this formation in the second half.
PSG players are playing the game they are asked to play, Luis Enrique is still proving to us that he is a good coach with bunch of experience, he studied the pattern of Real Madrid game and he is now playing against it, and they succeeded to stop Real Madrid in almost every angle and even played them well, and they are making use of all the chances that come their way which is why they already have 3 goals in the match.

Alonso needs to be more tactical in his decision making, because he shouldn’t have conceded three goals in the first 30 minutes of the match.

This is a total humiliation scoring three goals in less than 45 minutes I didn't expect this game to go this way I expected that madrid will step up their game but from the look of things the Gulf between the two teams is wide , this is to show that PSG is a quality team that is currently at their best form ever

[Chilwell]

Some quick goals from Paris St-Germain to extinguish whatever hopes Real Madrid had of getting into the finals for a possible trophy but now down by 2goals, its safe to say it's over for our Spanish giants!!

After this game or should I say after PSG win another trophy 🏆,  can we have the real definition of "farmers league " because this PSG side is destroying everything that stands in its way and they are now showing the world they are a top team ready to conquer all.

It seems that way because the way PSG are even playing I don't expect any come back from Madrid, actually at the beginning of the match when I noticed that the match was postponed, I decide to focus on something else but immediately I choose to watch the match I saw two goals and they have even added again. This is very serious PSG have make me speechless, I thought they aggression will just be on lower teams now is the turn of your Real Madrid. If eventually this much ended this way I think inter Milan will have a pretty space because no one know what they go through in the hands of PSG now real Madrid are here to testify their claim that it's wasn't easy for them when they first PSG at the final of Champions League.

Real Madrid really looks very fragile at the moment in front of PSG. And now in the first half which is about to end PSG is already leading 3-0. In my opinion, Real Madrid's hopes of equalizing the score are very slim in the second half. Unless Real Madrid can come up with a better strategy that will overwhelm PSG in the second half.

However, I doubt that Xabi Alonso will be able to get Real Madrid out of this problem. And yes, I think PSG deserved more from the start to reach the final. because their current quality is indeed better than any team. And I think Chelsea in the Final could suffer the same fate as Real Madrid.

[Adbitco]

PSG 3 Vs Real Madrid 0 HT
That last second attempt by Dembele was really going in if not for the intervention of Courtois. I really don't know if the game I'm watching is that of Auckland City Vs PSG because what exactly is Real Madrid doing or playing in the pitch? PSG are not even breaking any sweat in the game. I thought this was supposed to be a semi final match between two big teams but clearly I'm seeing only one big team playing against an amateur team.

I think PSG already secured the win after just 24 minutes and i was expecting a lot more from Real Madrid. As it looks now we will see a final between PSG and Chelsea. I dont see a way for Real Madrid to comeback from this they arent at a good level currently and some insane stuff needs to happen so that they comeback from this

PSG is even controlling the game more and more, less than 10 minutes and Real Madrid is already two goals behind. PSG seems to be in a whole different world of their own currently, in no doubt they are the current best team in the world. You just have to be 200% at your best to stop them the way things are going. They will force you take make mistakes, if you don't do it then they will take they liberty to create scoring chances themselves.

Now the match is completely dominated by psg  players. After leading by  a big margin of 3-0, PSG players are now very confident. On the other hand, Real Madrid players have been able to launch several attacks, but due to PSG's strong defense, Madrid players are not able to finish well.



At the end of the first  half, PSG players have 77% ball possession. Real madrid is not able to take any  advantage in this match. PSG has made 10 shots, out of which 5 were on target . On the other hand , Madrid has made only 4 shots. With only 23% ball possession. It was unexpected that Madrid will perform so badly in such an important match. So is Xabi going  to fail with Madrid? I know I should not talk about on Xabi's ability so quickly.

[yudi09]

3-0 for the first half. Is this not a mistake?
It seemed that PSG in this match was like the UEFA Champions League final when they beat Inter Milan. Will it be like that with the second half (45 minutes to go)?

Rudiger and Asencio were rated 4.6. This bodes ill for Xabi Alonso at the FIFA Club World Cup and is a lesson for Real Madrid in Xabi Alonso's maiden season.
If PSG can't add to the score or can add another goal later in the 45 minutes of normal time, then it is enough for them to signal to other teams that they are still very much a contender.

What are the percentages for Real Madrid to equalize in the second half?

psg 3 - 0 rma.

The first half has ended and the score has not changed, namely 3-0. A quick goal at the start of the match seemed to really destroy the mentality of the Real Madrid players. And caught the Real Madrid players off guard for a moment at that time. So PSG could immediately score the second goal quickly. And now with the 3 goals that PSG have managed to get, I think Real Madrid is in a difficult situation. In the past, Real Madrid was like this too. But first Real Madrid made an extraordinary comeback in the second half. Will Real Madrid be able to do it? I do not think so. In the past, when this team had Cristiano Ronaldo, we often saw dramatic actions at Real Madrid with extraordinary comebacks. But I have doubts for Real Madrid at the moment. Maybe Real Madrid can minimize their defeat by trying to score a goal in the second half.

The first half of the match is ended and let's assume that Real Madrid's agony is ended. The beginning of the second half could birth a new opportunity for Real Madrid to turn things around. Besides, a stable Real Madrid might not find it difficult to come back. But with the crop of Real Madrid players that I am seeing now, it is near impossible to do.

PSG were so bold to convert all the Real Madrids mistakes and shine with it. Real Madrid were overlapping unnecessarily. That was why the midfield was porous. Maybe they need Modric in the second half.

[Abbatty]

Can’t believe match is over in just 24 minutes, PSG have been so good all round the pitch, the way the hustle and fight for the ball when they lose it and how they use the ball again when they win it back is absolutely incredible. I think currently they are the best team in Europe, very ruthless.

I think Chelsea have a big thing coming their way, it going to be an interesting final to watch, I really want to see that midfield battle when they play against Chelsea.

In the end European teams are still dominating the world of football, many were saying European football is just hype but when it matter they turned up and it going to be 2 European team to play in the final of this tournament.
