🤯 This is football! World Cup delivers madness in stoppage time and more
Saturday (5) of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup ended in GREAT style.
Real Madrid was winning a "dragged" game against Borussia Dortmund until Brazilian referee Ramon Abel Abatti indicated the added time: five minutes.

And THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.
You can sign up for DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup games for free.
They were minutes of INSANITY, THREE goals, expulsion, and a MIRACLE preventing a tiebreaker that would be considered completely unlikely.
It didn't owe ANYTHING to the final stretch of PSG x Bayern with two expulsions, goal, and penalty annulled.
See what else stood out on social media.
It just happened like that...
Simply C-O-U-R-T-O-I-S-!
Practically that, right?
There was a great goal from Mbappé + tribute to Diogo Jota
And it had already happened...
The final stretch of Real x BVB had "softened" the craziness that was PSG x Bayern.

PSG was winning 1-0 and had lost Pacho, who was expelled at 36 minutes of the second half.
Kane even scored at 41', but was in an offside position.
Came the added time (six minutes) and MORE emotion.
Lucas Hérnandez also received the red card.
Leaving PSG with NINE players on the field.
Dembélé hit the crossbar at 50', but soon after scored the second goal for the French team after a play by Hakimi.
Anthony Taylor marked a penalty for Nuno Mendes on Müller at 52'.

But the VAR showed only a touch on the ball.
And the duel ended only at 56'.
Is it Thiago Silva's World Cup?
The Fluminense defender found out on Saturday that he will face his last team in Europe in the semifinal.

And may face ANOTHER former club in a possible final thanks to PSG's classification over Bayern.
Thiago Silva had a great time at the French club between 2012 and 2020. He was captain, reference, and won 24 titles.
He arrived at Chelsea "discredited" at 35 years old with a one-year contract.
He stayed for four years, won his first Champions League, and also became an idol.
The sequence of his career had his return to Fluminense.
He had won the 2007 Copa do Brasil and stood out in the vice-Libertadores squad in 2008 before heading to Milan.
He returned to be decisive in last year's Brasileirão and now tries to take Tricolor to the World Cup final.

It's certain that Milan would have been the other semifinalist if they had competed in the tournament...
