12:29pm, 11 July 2025Football

In the early morning of July 10, 2025, witnessed a transfer of football powers - Paris Saint-Germain swept the former overlord Real Madrid with a huge gap of 4-0 and advanced to the final of the Club World Cup.

Fabian Ruiz scored twice, Dembele made a pass and shot, and lost suspense in just 24 minutes of the game.

This crushing victory pushed Paris's terrifying record this season to a climax. They won the top four Premier League and La Liga in 168 days, with a total score of 28:8, aiming at the six-champion of the year!

Reviewing this journey, let's see where their journey to royal power began, and who is the most difficult opponent they encountered?

01. The trial of the Premier League's powerful people, Nirvana rebirth, Paris's conquest began with the shocking reversal of the Etihad Stadium on January 23, 2025.

At that time, facing Manchester City, Paris was on the verge of despair 0:2 at the half, but in the second half, Dembele, Barcola, Neves and Ramos scored four goals in a row, completing an epic comeback 4-2.

This game became the turning point of the season, activates Paris's blood and tactical confidence, and the team's running-in has become perfect.

However, the real tempering comes from the knockout round!

1/8 finals against Liverpool, Paris scored 27 shots at home in the first leg but lost 0:1, forcing them into a desperate situation because they were going to play in the terrifying away game - Anfield in the second leg. In the second leg, Liverpool did not defend as hard as in the first leg, but instead launched an attack with Paris Saint-Germain. Mars hit the Earth, and no one could do anything to anyone.

However, an own goal allowed Paris to tie in the 89th minute, dragging the game into a penalty shootout. Donnarumma saved the master, and Paris narrowly passed the penalty.

This victory allowed Paris Saint-Germain to complete Nirvana!

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they defeated Villa 3-1 at home. In the second leg, Paris expanded the total advantage to 5-1. The huge gap made them relax, but they encountered a crazy counterattack from their opponents.

Villa, led by Watkins, chased three goals in a row, almost tied before the final game, and Paris finally advanced with a total score of 5-4.

02. Crush the game, from Madrid to Milan

Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal, Paris demonstrated its tactical dominance. In the first leg, he scored a goal in 4 minutes away and conquered the Emirates Stadium 1-0. In the second leg, he returned to Prince Park. Ruiz and Ashraf jointly made a contribution and killed the Gunners.

The real Battle of the Gods was staged in the Champions League final in Istanbul. Facing the Serie A giants Inter Milan, Paris turned the ultimate showdown into a one-sided performance. The score of 5:0 set the record for the largest score difference in the Champions League finals, and Paris won the Champions League for the first time.

switched to the Club World Cup, and Paris continued its dominant posture. In the group stage, Atletico Madrid defeated Miami International 4:0 in the 18th final, and 9 players defeated Bayern 2:0 in the quarter-finals.

The soldiers are not bloody, the gods block the gods, the Buddhas block the Buddhas, and the Great Paris of the universe is formed!

03. The only crack, Brazilian dark horse sniper

In the almost perfect journey of Paris, only one team tear apart its unbeaten golden body - Brazilian powerhouse Botavogo.

Club World Cup group stage, facing the tide of attacks of Enrique's team, Botafogo used the ultimate defensive counterattack tactics, and succeeded with a tight low-post defense line and efficient counterattack sneak attack.

Botafogo's victory reveals Paris's life gate, which is to crack the dense defense!

Just like in the first leg against Liverpool, many people say that Paris crushed Liverpool, but Liverpool won only if they are lucky.

In fact, this is not the case. Facing a team with intensive defense, Paris has a lot of thunder and rain, and it is difficult to break through the defense line. I believe this is not the problem facing Paris.

Back then, Barcelona, ​​the universe team, had no tricks to face a defensive wall such as Chelsea and Inter Milan.

This loss became the "sobering agent" of Paris's season. Since then, Enrique has targeted the combination of sides and center and set-piece tactics. Later, in the matches against Atletico Madrid (4:0) and Real Madrid (4:0), set-piece breakouts and the wing-side bursts became key weapons.

04. The cornerstone of the throne, Enrique's tactical revolution

Paris' dominance comes from the full offensive and all-defense system created by Enrique. The "Trident" Dembele, Kvaratshelia and Douai have both speed, oppression and transfer capabilities.

Midfielder Vitinia and Neves control the rhythm with dual-core drive, and full-backs Ashraf and Mendes transform into attacking the wing knife to form a three-dimensional offensive, which is impeccable.

Demberle's transformation has become the finishing touch. This winger, who was criticized for being inefficient, has become the Champions League top scorer and assist king this season. In the semi-finals, he smashed Mbappe with 1 shot and 1 pass against Real Madrid, which can be said to be almost locked in the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
