Just three minutes later, Antonio Rudiger made a horrific mistake that led to Ousmane Dembele scoring one of the easiest goals of his career. It was 2-0 for PSG before ten minutes, and things got worse.
PSG continued to break down the Real Madrid defense, and in the 24th minute, another Ruiz goal put Les Parisiens 3-0 up. Thibaut Courtois made three crucial saves in the first half, and Real Madrid only played 95 passes compared to PSG’s 384.
In the second half, PSG continued to create more chances, and Desire Doue scored a fourth, but it was ruled out for offside. Luka Modric came on in the 64th minute to play his final game for Real Madrid.
