PSG One Game From History

EAST RUTHERFORD - Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique savored his team's performance in blowing away Real Madrid on July 9 to reach the Club World Cup final, and urged them to go on and cap a historic season by claiming yet another trophy.

Two goals from Fabian Ruiz either side of an Ousmane Dembele strike, as well as a late effort from substitute Goncalo Ramos, gave PSG an emphatic 4-0 semi-final victory at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium against a Real team who have just started working under new coach Xabi Alonso.

"It is a beautiful victory and we are happy to be in the final," said the 55-year-old Enrique.

PSG came into the Club World Cup after a campaign in which they won Ligue 1 and the French Cup before thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 to claim the Champions League for the first time in history.

Victory against Chelsea in July 13's final at the same venue would mean PSG winning every competition they have taken part in this season.
