Paris Saint-Germain opened their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign with a commanding 3–0 victory over Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on June 15. Under intense heat exceeding 30°C, PSG dominated possession and tempo from the start, controlling 77% of the ball in the first half. Fabián Ruiz opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a curling effort from outside the box, before Vitinha doubled the lead just before halftime with a clinical finish following a rapid counterattack.
Atlético Madrid struggled to create chances and failed to cope with PSG’s high pressing and midfield control. Their only goal was ruled out due to an earlier offside and foul in the build-up. The Spanish side’s hopes diminished further in the 78th minute when Clément Lenglet was sent off for a second yellow card. PSG sealed the win in the 87th minute through 19-year-old Senny Mayulu, who scored his first senior goal and became the youngest European ever to score in the Club World Cup.
The match drew criticism for being played in extreme heat, with several players visibly exhausted by the end. Nonetheless, PSG’s dominant performance confirmed their status as tournament favorites, while Atlético will need a swift response to keep their hopes alive in the group stage.
