There was never any doubt they would claim their place in the final after a rampant 18-minute spell in the first half, which began when a heavy touch from Raul Asencio inside the Real Madrid box allowed Ousmane Dembele to set up Fabian Ruiz’s sixth-minute opener.
Three minutes later, a miskick from Asencio’s centre-back partner, Antonio Rudiger, allowed Dembele to race through on goal and coolly beat Thibaut Courtois to double Paris Saint-Germain’s lead.
Real Madrid were reeling, and it got even worse for them when Ruiz added his second and Paris Saint-Germain’s third from Achraf Hakimi’s cut-back following a scintillating passing move.
Real Madrid, who lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury before the game, tried to regain a foothold by sending on Luka Modric for his final appearance for the club, but substitute Goncalo Ramos added a breakaway fourth to spark more Paris Saint-Germain celebrations.
