The semi-final fixtures of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have been confirmed following the conclusion of Saturday’s thrilling quarter-final matches.
Real Madrid secured the last spot in the semi-finals after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Gonzalo Garcia and Fran Garcia gave Real Madrid an early lead with first-half goals. Dortmund’s Maximilian Beier pulled one back with a low strike in extra time, but Kylian Mbappe restored Madrid’s two-goal cushion shortly after.
A red card to Dean Huijsen for a last-man foul gave Dortmund a lifeline, and Serhou Guirassy converted the resulting penalty to make it 3-2, but it was not enough for the German side.
Real Madrid will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. PSG defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 earlier in the day, holding on to their lead despite finishing the game with nine men.
In the other semi-final fixture, Chelsea will take on Fluminense. Chelsea edged Palmeiras 2-1 in their quarter-final clash, while Fluminense defeated Saudi side Al-Hilal to advance to the last four.
The semi-final matches are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, setting the stage for an exciting climax to this year’s expanded tournament.
