Video: Gonçalo Ramos scores against Real Madrid and pays tribute to Diogo Jota

Gonçalo Ramos sealed PSG's 4–0 win over Real Madrid with a late goal and a heartfelt tribute to his late friend, Diogo Jota.

Paris Saint-Germain sealed a historic victory over Real Madrid in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semifinal, and the man who put the final nail in the coffin was none other than Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese striker netted the fourth goal of the match in the 89th minute, wrapping up a dominant 4–0 win and booking PSG’s spot in Sunday’s final.

But it wasn’t just a goal—it was a tribute.

After his powerful right-footed finish past Thibaut Courtois, Ramos ran straight to the corner flag, dropped to his knees, and pointed to the sky..

The emotional moment drew applause even from neutral fans in the MetLife Stadium and sparked an outpouring of support on social media. Ramos had played alongside Jota on multiple occasions for Portugal, and the two shared a close friendship off the field.

This goal marked Ramos’s fourth of the tournament, further solidifying his reputation as one of Europe’s most clinical finishers. The 23-year-old has stepped up for PSG in the absence of key forwards and continues to prove his worth on the biggest stage.
