Paris Saint-Germain won their first victory with a 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid

On June 16, the first round of Group B of the 2025 Club World Cup ushered in a focus battle. The new European champion Paris Saint-Germain was in hot form, defeating the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid, which only played with 10 players, 4-0 and successfully got off to a good start in the group stage.

Despite the absence of Dembélé due to injury, Paris Saint-Germain still played at full strength. The front line consisted of "K77" Kvaratskhelia, Gonzalo Ramos and Douai, forming an offensive trident, showing strong pressure. Atletico Madrid sent Griezmann and Alvarez to try to compete.

After the game started, both sides attacked each other. In the 19th minute, K77 created chaos in the penalty area and then passed the ball to the middle. Fabian Louis calmly shot low from the top of the arc and scored the first goal for Paris. In the stoppage time, K77 created threats again. He attracted multiple defenders on the left and passed the ball to the middle. Vitinha broke into the penalty area and shot successfully. At the end of the half, Paris Saint-Germain led 2-0 .

In the second half, Paris continued to attack. In the 49th minute, Kvaratskhelia broke through from the left and shot the post, almost expanding the score. In the 57th minute, Atletico Madrid's Alvarez scored once, but the referee determined that Koke had committed a foul before the goal under the prompt of VAR, and the goal was cancelled, missing the hope of equalizing.

In the 78th minute, Atletico Madrid's situation worsened. Central defender Lenglet was sent off with a red card after receiving his second yellow card due to dissatisfaction with the penalty, forcing Atletico Madrid to play with one less player.

Paris, with the numerical advantage, quickly seized the opportunity. In the 87th minute, 19 -year-old Mayulu, who came on as a substitute, received a precise through ball from Mbaye and broke into the penalty area. He calmly shot low from a small angle and not only helped the team to a 3-0 lead, but also made him the youngest European scorer in the club's World Cup history at the age of 19.

Entering the stoppage time, Atletico Madrid's defense had loopholes again. Defender Lenormand handballed and gave away a penalty. Li Gangren took the penalty and scored steadily, securing the final 4-0 victory.

With this hearty victory, Paris Saint-Germain has taken a favorable position at the beginning of Group B. K77's one pass and one instigation showed the style of the new core, and the shining performances of young player Mayulu and Asian star Li Kangren also made people shine. As the new lineup after Mbappe's departure gradually fits in, Paris has shown extremely high tactical execution and fighting spirit, aiming for the highest honor of the Club World Cup.
