Paris Saint-Germain's Spanish coach, Luis Enrique, was asked on Tuesday, on the eve of the semi-final against Real Madrid, if the Parisians are better without Kylian Mbappe. Enrique was... laconic, all he said was: "That belongs to the past, and the past says very little. We focus on the present."


And as it turned out on the day of the match, Paris Saint-Germain under the guidance of Luis Enrique had no thoughts about Mbappe. The captain of the French national team is a thing of the past. The European 2025 champion was storming. They threw an amazing, perhaps even incredible, party, turning Real Madrid into a punching bag. They crushed them with an impressive 4-0 and qualified for the final of the Club World Cup, where they will face Chelsea on Sunday.


So Paris, after being at the top of Europe, is now ready to conquer the top of the world! With the speed gained from winning the Champions League and the triumphant 5-0 over Inter in the final on May 31, the Parisians confirmed that they are currently the top team in the world. And this is beyond doubt. The French team made ... Real Madrid look like a leaf and a feather, and showed that they are preparing to create their own empire.


Luis Enrique's team was "flying" on the field of the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and before the 25th minute of the match was over, the score was 3-0!


In the 6th minute, after a mistake by Asensio, Dembele stole the ball and gave a ready goal to the Spanish midfielder, Fabian Ruiz, who opened the score (1-0). Three minutes later (9th minute), after another mistake by the German stopper Rudiger, Dembele with a wonderful shot raised the score to 2-0 for the Parisians.


Before... recovering from the first two "hits", the "merenges " received a third goal from an assist by Hakimi to Ruiz, who took the score to 3-0, just in the 25th minute!


In the second half, Paris... conserved their strength, with Luis Enrique withdrawing Dembele and Kvaratskhelia  to avoid further burdening them ahead of the final. However, this did not prevent the European champions from scoring another goal in the 87th minute through Portuguese international Gonzalo Ramos, who made the French team's 4-0 final victory even more impressive.
