Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated their dominant form by defeating Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their opening match of the Club World Cup. In Los Angeles’s scorching heat, PSG controlled the game early on, with Fabian Ruiz scoring the first goal, followed by a second from Vitinha just before halftime. Senny Mayulu added a third late in the match, and Lee Kang-in capped off the score with a penalty. Atletico struggled to combat PSG’s midfield control and lost momentum after Clement Lenglet was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
"PSG swiftly gained the upper hand with their midfield three of Joao Neves, Vitinha and Ruiz dominating the centre of the park."
"Atletico offered a sporadic threat in the second half - Julian Alvarez seeing a goal ruled out - but their challenge was effectively ended when Clement Lenglet talked himself into a second yellow card."
