PSG, Real to face off in CWC semis

Mbappe nets stunner to deflate Dortmund

- 

Nine-man Paris Saint-Germain set up a Club World Cup semifinal clash against their former superstar striker Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid with a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Saturday in Atlanta.

Los Blancos squeezed out Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in New Jersey in the day's other quarterfinal clash, with Mbappe on the scoresheet for the first time at the tournament.

Luis Enrique's PSG needed to dig deep in front of 67,000 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium after late red cards for Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez.

The French side won the Uefa Champions League for the first time in their history in May, despite their key player Mbappe departing for Real last year.

Young forward Desire Doue, who shone on PSG's road to European glory, and Ballon d'Or candidate Ousmane Dembele got the goals in the second half of an enthralling clash against Vincent Kompany's Bayern, who had two strikes ruled out for offside.

The German giants also lost playmaker Jamal Musiala to a horror ankle injury just before halftime, which Kompany said made his "blood boil" because of how unfortunate it is for the 22-year-old.

"After the first red card it became complicated, then with two players less it was a bit of a lottery," said a relieved Luis Enrique.
