PSG Advances Club World Cup Semifinals Over Bayern Munich Despite Nine Men

Paris Saint-Germain secured a dramatic 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals, advancing to the semifinals where they will face either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund. Ousmane Dembele played a pivotal role, scoring a stoppage-time goal and earning praise from coach Luis Enrique, who suggested Dembele deserves the Ballon d'Or for his outstanding performance and leadership. Désiré Doue opened the scoring with a decisive strike after a quick counterattack, capitalizing on rare mistakes by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The match was marred by a severe injury to Bayern's Jamal Musiala, who suffered a broken ankle following a collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite PSG being reduced to nine players late in the game due to red cards, they held firm against Bayern's pressure, demonstrating resilience and tactical discipline. The win continues PSG's pursuit of multiple titles following their recent Champions League triumph over Inter Milan.
