Paris Saint-Germain produced a stunning 4-0 thrashing of LaLiga giants, Real Madrid to set up a Club World Cup final against winners of UEFA Conference League, Chelsea.
Luis Enrique’s side delivered another performance which gives them the chance to conclude an incredible season with a world title at New York’s MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The humiliation started for Coach Xabi Alonso on Wednesday, after a rampant 18-minute spell in the first half which began when a heavy touch from Raul Asencio inside the Spanish side’s box allowed Ousmane Dembele to set up Fabian Ruiz’s sixth-minute opener.
