Real Madrid Fans Blame Two Players After Humiliating PSG Defeat in FIFA Club World Cup
- PSG raced to a 3-0 lead within 24 minutes, capitalising on costly errors from Real Madrid’s defence
- Real Madrid fans slammed two of their players for their roles in the embarrassing defeat, calling for both to be sold
- The French powerhouse will now face English side Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday
Real Madrid were sent packing from the FIFA Club World Cup after suffering a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Xabi Alonso’s side faced the reigning Champions League winners in the semi-finals, with a place in Sunday’s final against Chelsea on the line.
The match, held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, quickly spiraled out of control for Los Blancos.
Real Madrid’s dressing room reaction
After the crushing loss to PSG, the Real Madrid dressing room fell silent. Players avoided eye contact while coaches held back criticism to protect already shattered morale.
Xabi Alonso urged his team to “remember this feeling” and use it as fuel for upcoming La Liga and Champions League battles.
Some players sat with their heads in their hands for minutes, still processing the humiliation in New Jersey.
Club directors remain confident in Alonso’s long-term plan but expect immediate improvements to avoid more embarrassing defeats this season.
Everyone left the stadium knowing their pride had taken a huge hit.

PSG punish error-prone Real Madrid
The Spanish giants found themselves 3-0 down within just 24 minutes as PSG took full advantage of defensive chaos.
Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz both capitalised on early mistakes to give the Parisians a dream start, before Ruiz added his second—and PSG’s third—midway through the first half following a blistering counter-attack.
With the match virtually decided by the break, PSG eased through the second half but still managed to add a fourth goal late on through Gonçalo Ramos, who finished in style to cap a dominant performance.
Madrid fans slam Rudiger and Asencio
The fallout from the heavy defeat was immediate, with furious Real Madrid supporters singling out Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asencio for blame.
The centre-back duo struggled throughout the game, each committing costly errors that led to PSG’s early goals.

Fans took to social media to vent their frustration, branding the pair the "worst players" of the tournament and calling for both to be sold.
@LosReyesdeEU said:
"I'll sell both Rudiger and Asencio if I could. Not kidding."
@mxdric posted:
"Yeah Rudiger and Asencio have single handedly just ruined the entire tournament. Fair enough man."
@des_xxy wrote:
"Our worst players in the club World Cup. Rudiger and Asencio should be ashamed."
Another posted:
"Rudiger hates [Lamine] Yamal so much he gifted Dembele a goal to confirm his Ballon Dor."
One fan also wrote:
"I will never forgive Asensio and Rudiger."
A difficult night for Real Madrid's defensive duo
Rudiger played the full 90 minutes despite his shaky display, while Asencio was hauled off in the 64th minute and replaced by Eder Militao.
Rudiger joined Real Madrid in 2022 on a free transfer from Chelsea, while Asencio is a graduate of the club’s youth academy.
With Real Madrid now out of the Club World Cup, Alonso’s focus will shift to La Liga and the Champions League as he looks to bounce back from a night to forget.
PSG set up Club World Cup final with Chelsea
With the FIFA Club World Cup final set for Sunday, PSG will now face Chelsea in a highly anticipated showdown.
For Real Madrid, it was a humbling evening that shifts their focus back to the La Liga title race and another deep Champions League run.
Real Madrid concede three early goals for first time in 22 years
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Real Madrid suffered a rare and painful collapse as they conceded three goals in the opening 25 minutes of a match for the first time since November 9, 2003.
On that occasion, they were torn apart by Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, falling behind 3-0 by the 14th minute through goals from Dario Silva, Dani Alves, and an Ivan Helguera own goal.
