Monster PSG "leads a new era," but Real Madrid faces challenges.

 Luis Enrique

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."
