BREAKING: PSG handed Club World Cup final blow as two players immediately banned for Chelsea clash
According to latest report, Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a major blow ahead of their Club World Cup final following their stunning victory over Real Madrid.
PSG beat Real 4-0 on Wednesday to book their spot in Sunday’s final against Chelsea, who beat Brazilian outfit Fluminense on Tuesday.
The French giants opened the scoring in just the sixth minute through Fabian Ruiz.
Real’s defeat to PSG spells the end of their Club World Cup campaign as they won’t be involved in a third-place play-off match.
PSG, on the other hand, are just one game away from winning their fifth title in the past 12 months, having won four trophies in the 2024/25 campaign, including the prestigious Champions League.
But Luis Enrique will be without two key players for PSG’s showdown against Chelsea at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Defenders Pacho and Lucas Hernandez are banned and will not be available for Enrique when PSG face Chelsea on Sunday.
Pacho and Luis Hernandez were both sent off in PSG’s quarter-final victory over Bayern Munich.
Pacho was given a straight red card by Anthony Taylor for his studs-up challenge on Leon Goretzka.
Hernandez was also shown a red card for elbowing Raphael Guerreiro in the jaw in front of the Premier League referee.
They were both handed two-match suspensions following their dismissals against Bayern.
