PSG 4-0 Atletico: 4 different scorers & midfield magic help Champions League winners crush Madrid in statement win

Paris Saint-Germain made a powerful statement in their FIFA Club World Cup opener, cruising to a commanding 4-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid in Los Angeles.

The European champions showed their class and precision, with goals from Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Senny Mayulu, and Lee Kangin, leaving no doubt about their intent in the tournament.

European champions PSG controlled the game from the first whistle with a blend of elegance and efficiency.

Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring with a beautifully placed shot from just outside the box, finding the bottom corner past Atlético’s goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Ruiz’s goal was a perfect example of PSG’s clinical approach, calm, composed, and utterly precise.

Portuguese midfield maestro, Vitinha, then doubled the lead just before halftime, a moment of pure brilliance.

Breaking swiftly from midfield, he unleashed a stunning strike that left Oblak with no chance, putting PSG firmly in the driver’s seat.

The team’s fluid passing and intelligent movement made it clear that this was a side determined to dominate.

Despite the pressure, Atlético showed promise and fought back, but their hopes were dealt a severe blow when Clement Lenglet was sent off in the 78th minute, reducing them to ten men.

However, PSG had already built a solid foundation with two goals and continued to press.

Senny Mayulu and Lee Kangin added their names to the scoresheet, sealing a comprehensive victory that felt as much about style as substance.

The win not only demonstrated PSG’s attacking firepower but also their tactical maturity and squad depth.

This performance sends a clear message to the rest of the competition: PSG are not just here to participate, they are here to win.

Luis Enrique’s team looks sharp, confident, and ready to take on all challengers in their quest for global glory, especially after a similar display landed them their first-ever Champions League crown.
