Club World Cup - Kvaratskhelia twice made a final assist. Paris 4-0 to defeat Atletico Madrid and create a dominant victory!

1. The bloody rule of the Rose Bowl: The new triple crown crushed Simeone's steel defense line

When the final whistle sounded at the Rose Bowl Stadium, the players of Paris Saint-Germain formed a circle to applaud. This 4-0 massacre was not only the strongest victory after the Club World Cup reform, but also marked the completion of the power change in European football. Under Enrique's tactical innovation, Paris replaced the past star dependence with sophisticated teamwork, tearing down Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded defense to pieces.

In the early morning of June 16, this Group B focus battle unfolded under the scorching sun in Los Angeles. Paris lined up a 4-3-3 formation, with the forward line composed of Kvaratzhlia, Gonzalo Ramos and Douai against Atletico Madrid's 5-3-2 defense line led by Griezmann and Alvarez. Just 19 minutes into the opening game, the Georgian showed his dominance on the wing: after straying through Garland and Lenoerman on the left, he easily returned to Ruiz who followed up, who shot a 118km-hour ground slash outside the penalty area, and the ball rubbed against the inside of the post and entered the net. This goal broke Paris' slow-hot curse in the key battle and also made Atletico coach Simeone's brow furrowed.

2. Kvaratskhelia's magic: The wing elf director massacre in halftime

In the first half stoppage time, Paris launched another fatal raid. Kvaratskhelia started to accelerate after intercepting the ball in the midfield, tearing the Atletico Madrid defense at a 35.2 km/h sprint, and then calmly passed the ball to Vitina who was inserted in the middle. The Portuguese made a slight adjustment and used the outside instep to send the ball into the far corner - this goal not only expanded the score to 2-0, but also made Paris' possession rate soar to 71%. Data shows that Kvaratshelia completed 5 passes and 3 key passes in the first half, directly participating in the advancement of all Paris offensive zones three.

Atletico Madrid is not without opportunities. In the 37th minute, Griezmann received a header from Alvarez, and his push shot in the small penalty area was blocked by Donnarumma with his legs. This missing goal, which was a sure goal, became the turning point of the game. Just 3 minutes later, Paris threatened the goal again through counterattack. If Oblak had not saved Ramos's single shot, the score might have lost its suspense earlier.

3. The red card made it worse: Atletico Madrid ten players encountered a complete collapse in response to the challenge

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone replaced three players in a row to try to turn the situation around, but the VAR penalty in the 58th minute completely defeated their morale: Alvarez received a pass from Correa, but was determined to have pushed people in his hand during the steal, and the goal was invalid. This penalty not only stifled Atletico Madrid's hope of counterattack, but also ignited Lenglet's anger. In the 78th minute, the French central defender received the second yellow card for protesting the penalty, becoming the first player to be sent off in this tournament. Atletico Madrid's defense line, which had one less man fighting, collapsed completely. In the 87th minute, Ashraf made a cross from the right to create chaos, and the 19-year-old player Mayulu, who came on the bench, made a quick shot at the close corner, rewriting the score to 3-0. This goal not only allowed him to surpass Anelka and become the youngest European goal scorer in the history of the Club World Cup, but also allowed Paris to score 105 goals in the year, temporarily surpassing Barcelona to become the most fire-fire team in the five major leagues in 2025. In stoppage time, Lenormann gave a handball in the penalty area, and Li Gangren scored the victory in one go, setting the score at 4-0.

4. Tactical dimensionality reduction strike: Enrique's precision gear crushes Simeone's meat grinder

The victory in Paris is a victory of tactical innovation. The "high-pressing + wing blasting" system created by Enrique completely disintegrated the defensive counterattack on which Atletico Madrid relied on:

wing suppression: The left-hand impact of Kvaratschlia and Ashraf made Atletico Madrid left-back Garland the player with the most breakthroughs in the game (6 times), directly causing 40% of Paris' offense to come from the left.

Midfielder strangle: Vitinia completed 125 passes in the whole game (success rate of 98.2%), and a midfield trio formed with Ruiz and Neves suppressed Atletico’s midfield interception success rate at 38%.

Physical Advantages: Paris players have an average running distance of 11.2 kilometers, 1.3 kilometers more than Atletico Madrid. This physical advantage is completely released at the end of the game.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid's 5-3-2 formation exposed a fatal flaw under the high pressure of Paris:

Difficulty in passing: Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak was forced to complete 18 long passes (success rate is only 44%), which directly led to the team being passive.

Setting ball loss: Paris used a corner kick to create 3 excellent opportunities. If it weren't for Aubrac's magical save, the score might be even more disparity.

Mental collapse: Lenglet's red card and Alvarez's goal were blown up, completely destroying Atletico Madrid's fighting spirit and finally swallowing a 7-yellow 1-red shameful ticket.

5. Post-match aftermath: Football philosophical thinking under the data frenzy

This victory is not only a crush on the competitive level, but also triggers thinking about the essence of football:

The paradox between capital and competition: The whole team in Paris is worth 950 million euros, nearly twice that of Atletico Madrid (480 million). This capital gap is reflected in absolute technical suppression in the game.

VAR's double-edged sword: Alvarez's goal was blown up to meet the rules, but it greatly reduced the fluency of the game, triggering discussions about "whether football needs to be so precise".

The rise of young forces: The goals of Mayulu and Li Gangren mark the transition from new to old to Paris, and the legacy of the Mbappe era is being inherited by a new generation of players.

After the game, Paris coach Enrique said in an interview: "Our goal is to play beautiful football, and today's game proves this.. " Atletico Madrid coach Simeone rarely admits: "This is one of the most difficult games since I coached, and we need to reflect deeply. "

6. Conclusion: The dawn of the dynasty and the horn of reconstruction

When the Paris players celebrated on the turf of the rose bowl, Atletico Madrid's bus had quietly left the stadium. This 4-0 victory was not only a declaration of Paris's attack on the Club World Cup champion, but also a milestone in the power change in European football - under the leadership of Enrique, this team is bidding farewell to the past of "stars" and moving towards the "system is king" The new era.

For Atletico Madrid, this crushing defeat is not the end of the world. Simeone's iron-blooded philosophy is still alive, and the combination of Alvarez and Griezmann's forward line is still threatening. But they must understand that in the wave of globalization of football, the precise tactical system can no longer be fought by spiritual attributes alone.

Football needs passion, and even more wisdom. When the tactical gears of Paris shine in the sun, Atletico Madrid's road to reconstruction has just begun. And this is the most fascinating thing about football - there will always be a new king rise, and there will always be an unyielding soul fighting.
