Chelsea wake keeping on Sunday — Fans make grim prediction as PSG hammer Madrid to set up Blues tie

Chelsea's hopes of Club World Cup glory have been met with scepticism online after Paris Saint-Germain ruthlessly dismantled Real Madrid 4-0 to set up a mouthwatering final against the Blues.

The French champions produced one of their most dominant displays in recent memory, humiliating Los Blancos with a first-half blitz that triggered waves of mockery directed at Chelsea ahead of Sunday’s grand finale.

Paris Saint-Germain made light work of Real Madrid in their Club World Cup semifinal clash, putting four unanswered goals past the European giants to underline their fearsome credentials ahead of Sunday’s final.

Luis Enrique’s men wasted no time, scoring three goals before halftime and effectively ending the contest early.

A mistake by Madrid’s Raul Asencio gifted PSG their opener through Fabian Ruiz, before Ousmane Dembele doubled the lead following a Rudiger blunder. Ruiz added a second to his tally minutes later after a slick assist from Achraf Hakimi.

The Parisians never took their foot off the gas, with Gonçalo Ramos adding a fourth in the final minutes following dazzling footwork from Bradley Barcola. Madrid barely threatened, leaving PSG in cruise control and Chelsea fans trembling ahead of the showdown.

Following PSG’s emphatic win, fans on X (formerly Twitter) erupted with humour as Chelsea’s date with destiny was confirmed.

Reactions to the final announcement post from Chelsea’s official account were anything but hopeful. One reply simply said, “Pray for Chelsea, wake keeping on Sunday,” while another quipped, “Forfeit the match. Don’t disgrace London!”

The Blues, who beat Fluminense to reach the final, now face the unenviable task of stopping a PSG side in lethal form.

With football Twitter already writing their eulogy, Enzo Maresca’s men have a point to prove and a final to survive.
