Paris Saint-Germain is on the verge of making football history, with only one victory standing between them and an unprecedented perfect season.
Their resounding 4-0 triumph over Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals has propelled them into the final, where they will face Chelsea in a clash of titans.
Following the victory, PSG head coach Luis Enrique conveyed immense pride in his team’s performance, expressing satisfaction with how they overcame the challenge of a club as formidable as Real Madrid.
He emphasized that winning such a match required quality and discipline, and believed the team’s performance justified the dominant result.
The win further cements PSG’s status as a global football powerhouse. Already winners of the domestic league and cup, as well as their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, the Parisian club is now on the brink of completing a historic quadruple. A Club World Cup win on Sunday would elevate them into the pantheon of the sport’s greatest teams.
Enrique reminded the press that the objective from the beginning of the season was to make history, though he acknowledged the difficulty of such a feat.
He noted that only a few teams have ever come close to achieving what PSG is attempting. A final victory, he believed, would be a landmark moment not just for the players, but also for the fans who have supported the club through its evolution.
Midfielder Fabian Ruiz emerged as the standout player of the semifinal, scoring twice in the first half and earning the Man of the Match award. With three goals in the tournament, Ruiz has become a frontrunner for the Golden Boot.
Despite the individual accolades, the Spanish international made it clear that his primary focus was on team success. He shared that while personal achievements were satisfying, helping PSG win the final was his ultimate goal.
As the Parisian giants gear up to take on Chelsea, the world of football awaits the outcome of what could be a defining moment in the sport’s modern era. A win on Sunday would not just mark a season of victories, but a legacy carved into the history of football.
