Real Madrid’s worst international defeats: Can PSG reach that ranking in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025?

Real Madrid are suffering a heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, reminiscent of other painful blows from the past.

This Wednesday, Real Madrid are enduring a tough 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Not only does this eliminate them from the title race, but it also adds a new entry to the list of the Spanish side’s worst defeats in international tournaments.

So far, the worst defeat Real Madrid have suffered in international competition was by a five-goal margin, and it has happened twice in their history. The first instance came in the UEFA Cup (the predecessor to the Europa League) in 1982, when they lost 5-0 to Kaiserslautern in the second leg of the quarterfinals—resulting in elimination with a 6-3 aggregate score.

The other case happened in the same decade. In 1989, Los Blancos faced AC Milan in the semifinals of the Champions League (then called the European Cup). After a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Madrid, the decisive match at San Siro ended in a 5-0 thrashing by the Italian side, who would go on to win their third continental title that year.
