Luis Enrique won the 2015 Club World Cup with Barcelona
Luis Enrique's Paris St. Germain appear to be building a dynasty after defeating Real Madrid, another European powerhouse, 4-0 to reach the Club World Cup final. The French side bashed Inter Milan 5-0 five and a half weeks ago in the Champions League final - and they are showing few signs of letting up.
While critics have dismissed the Club World Cup as almost like a friendly tournament, that is not how it has been played. It is being taken as seriously as any competition by the players.
PSG had a blip against Brazilian side Botafogo, but have beaten both Atletico and Real Madrid 4-0 in the United States tournament, plus German champions Bayern Munich 2-0 despite ending the game with nine men.
Teams just cannot cope with their pace, passing and pressing - and they continue to tear apart any team in their way.
They led 3-0 within 24 minutes, thanks to a Fabian Ruiz double and Ousmane Dembele strike, before Goncalo Ramos netted with three minutes left.
Next up are Chelsea in Sunday's final in New Jersey.
"Luis Enrique has created a monster," said Dazn pundit Andros Townsend.
"They look like a team that are going to be around for a long time," said Gareth Bale, an ex-forward for Real Madrid. "They are very young, obstinate, and want to make teams look bad."
