PSG show their class: Champions League winners earn first Club World Cup win as Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and wonderkid Senny Mayulu are among the scorers in confident win against 10-man Atletico Madrid

Somewhat fresh from their historic Champions League triumph, PSG were straight into their work as they hounded Atletico out of possession and cut them open at will on the attack. The Liga side could only keep the French champions out until the 19th minute, when Ruiz fired a fabulous strike past Jan Oblak from the edge of the area.

Luis Enrique's outfit looked bright and breezy even off the back of a tough 2024-25 schedule and doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time through Vitinha. The former Wolves midfielder ran at the Atletico defence on the counter attack, using Goncalo Ramos as a decoy runner before curling into the far corner.

It would have been 3-0 at the start of the second half if not for a stunning Oblak save, the Slovenian getting his fingertips to a rasping Khvicha Kvaratskhelia drive.

Atletico did try to engineer a comeback and looked to have pulled one back when Julian Alvarez finished sharply past Gianluigi Donnarumma, but the strike was chalked off as Koke was judged to have tripped Desire Doue. Their hopes of rescuing anything from the game then took a major blow, however, as Clement Lenglet talked himself into a second yellow card and was sent off.

PSG looked increasingly likely to get a third and it eventually arrived as Atletico failed to clear their lines. The ball fell to Senny Mayulu, who cracked his shot in at the near post and that effort was followed up with a fourth goal when Lee Kang-in fired in a penalty.

PSG's attackers were vibrant even without the injured Ousmane Dembele, but it was Vitinha who really stood out. The Portugal international seemed to have all the time he wanted in central midfield, rarely looking troubled by Pablo Barrios or Rodrigo De Paul, and his composure when running towards goal before finding the corner was exquisite.

Poor Clement Lenglet had a pretty tough day. The former Tottenham and Aston Villa loanee was like a deer in the headlights whenever PSG poured forward and he eventually decided he'd had enough by inviting the referee to book him a second time for dissent.

PSG will look to make it two wins from two games when they battle Botafogo on Friday, while Atletico will hope to beat Seattle Sounders on the same day to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
