A powerful blow from PSG: defeated Atletico 4-0 (video)

PSG showed their strength and superiority in the first round of the Club World Cup. The French giants defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the match held at the Rose Bowl in the United States.

Match analysis
The Parisians started the game at a high pace and in full control. The team's mobility in the center and speed on the wings became the main weapons against Atletico.

The score opened in the 19th minute - Fabian Ruiz finished off the attack from the center, putting PSG ahead. On the eve of the break, Vitinha scored the second goal with a precise shot, extinguishing the opponent's hopes.

In the second half, Atletico's tactical superiority was evident. In the 87th minute, S. Meulu doubled the score. The final blow was scored by Lee Kang-in - he scored a penalty in the 90th + 7th minute.

Madrid finished one man short
Atletico lost the match not only by a goal, but also by a system. Several players were cautioned, and in the final minutes one player was sent off. The team was also numerically weak and spent the final minutes with 10 men.

Vitinha - the best of the match
The author of the second goal, Vitinha, stood out not only for the goal he scored, but also for his actions throughout the match. His play in the center, his passes and his active pressing led to his recognition as the "best player".

Lineups:
PSG: Donnarumma — Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos, Hakimi — Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves — Quaracchelia, Doue, Gonzalo Ramos.
Atlético: Oblak — Galan, Lenglet, Le Normand, Llorente — Lino, Barrios, De Paul — Simeone, Griezmann, Alvarez.

With this victory, PSG started the Club World Cup in a strong spirit and once again proved that they are contenders for the championship. Madrid, on the other hand, will have to radically change their game in the next rounds — otherwise, there is a big risk of an early exit from the competition.
