Fabián Ruiz scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain built a three-goal lead in the first 24 minutes and routed Real Madrid 4-0 in East Rutherford, N.J., advancing to the Club World Cup final against Chelsea.

Ruiz scored in the sixth minute and Ousmane Dembélé in the ninth following glaring mistakes by defenders Raúl Asencio and Antonio Rüdiger, and Ruiz made it 3-0 to cap a counter. Gonçalo Ramos added a goal in the 87th.

Coming off its first European title, PSG plays for the championship on Sunday.

Real fared no better than Inter Milan, overrun by PSG 5-0 in the Champions League final. The 15-time European champion looked sluggish after traveling to Florida for training between games, and PSG had 76.5% possession in the first half.

A crowd of 77,542 was at MetLife Stadium on a scorching day with a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit (33 Celsius) at kickoff and humidity that made it feel like 101 (38).

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Former San José State head coach, Sam Piraro, has been elected to the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

Piraro will be honored at the 2026 ABCA Convention in Columbus, Ohio in January, 2026.

Piraro coached the Spartans from 1987-2012 and is the winningest coach in SJSU baseball history with a record of 806-632-6. Piraro led the Spartans to two NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the College World Series in 2000, marking the Spartans first and only appearance in the CWS.

Additionally, Piraro was named WAC Coach of the Year in 1997, 2000, 2008 and 2009. At San José State, Piraro produced seven All-Americans, six Freshman All-Americans and 80 all-conference selections. He also coached future major leaguers Kevin Frandsen, Anthony Telford and Jeff Ball.

Before SJSU, Piraro spent seven seasons as the head coach at Mission College. Piraro was inducted into the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.

MOTORSPORTS

Longtime Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was fired after a 20-year stint that included eight Formula 1 drivers’ titles and a rise to celebrity status.

Red Bull did not give a reason for the decision in a statement, but thanked Horner for his work and said he will “forever remain an important part of our team history.”

Laurent Mekies of sister team Racing Bulls will replace Horner in his role as chief executive of the Red Bull team.

Horner had been Red Bull team principal since it entered F1 as a full constructor in 2005. He had performed his team and media duties as normal throughout the British Grand Prix last week.

Horner oversaw eight F1 drivers’ titles — four for Sebastian Vettel and four for Max Verstappen — and six constructors’ titles during his time with the team.

But McLaren has dominated this season in F1, while Red Bull’s performance has dipped, though defending champion Verstappen remains third in the standings and the team is fourth.

NFL

The NFL Players Association is appealing an arbitrator’s ruling regarding collusion by owners over quarterback salaries, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.

The person, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because it’s a legal matter, said the appeal was filed on Tuesday and the union has been having ongoing discussions with its executive council about the matter. There’s no timeline for a decision that’ll be made by a standing appeals panel made up of three people.

On Jan. 14, arbitrator Christopher Droney ruled there wasn’t sufficient evidence of collusion by owners in contract negotiations with quarterbacks after the Cleveland Browns gave QB Deshaun Watson a record $230 million fully guaranteed contract.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs had surgery on his right knee and is expected to start the season on the sideline.

Wirfs, who strained his right MCL last November, was held out of minicamp last month.
