'Are your children tired of playing?' - Luis Enrique jokes with Real Madrid legend over PSG 'enjoying themselves' after stunning 4-0 Club World Cup semi-final win

PSG cruised into the Club World Cup final with a stunning 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in New Jersey. Two early goals from the star of the match, Fabian Ruiz, and a cool finish from Ballon d'Or contender Ousmane Dembele effectively sealed the result within the first half-hour, before Goncalo Ramos added a late fourth. After the match, head coach Luis Enrique delivered a memorable moment during a DAZN interview when asked how PSG could be stopped. With a grin, he replied: “Are your children tired of playing?” a cheeky nod to his side’s joy and dominance on the pitch.

Enrique’s PSG side look almost untouchable. Less than six weeks after thrashing Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final, they have now dismantled two Spanish giants, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, by the same 4-0 scoreline at the Club World Cup. With pace, control and overwhelming pressing, PSG are showcasing a new era of dominance. The restructured squad, rebuilt following Kylian Mbappe’s summer departure, now looks more balanced and cohesive, playing with a fearless fluidity that’s proving incredibly difficult to stop.

Their dominance was so complete that DAZN pundit Claude Makelele, a former PSG and Madrid midfielder himself, posed a simple question to Enrique post-match: how could anyone possibly stop this team?

The Spanish coach, with a smirk, offered a cheeky metaphor in response: "You have children, right?" he retorted. "And your children, are they tired of playing?" the Spanish smiled.

Asked about PSG’s evolution and identity under his leadership, Enrique continued: "The goal as a coach is to try to see that our players enjoy themselves and that the fans enjoy watching us play football. It's been a great season. We're a dominant team, a team that likes to have the ball. And it's difficult for our opponents to do the same."

The final test of Les Parisiens’s perfect season awaits. They face Enzo Maresca's Chelsea on Sunday, July 13, in the coveted Club World Cup final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, a chance to secure their fourth major title of 2025.
