Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele has been instrumental in their journey to the Club World Cup final, with Luis Enrique praising his contributions. Dembele shone brightly against Real Madrid, scoring once and assisting another in a 4-0 victory at MetLife Stadium. His performance marked him as the first player since 2002-03 to be involved in two goals against Madrid within the first nine minutes of a match.

Dembele's season has been remarkable, with 30 goal involvements in 2025 alone. Since the start of the 2024-25 season, he has accumulated 35 goals and 14 assists. After aiding PSG to secure a domestic treble and their inaugural Champions League title, Dembele is a strong contender for this year's Ballon d'Or. Luis Enrique expressed his admiration for Dembele, stating: "It's the first match of this Club World Cup that we can use Ousmane as a starter because he was injured with the [French] national team, and we tried to take care of him. I think he's the best player this season by a long way."

PSG's dominant display against Real Madrid saw them lead by three goals within just 24 minutes, a feat not achieved since their match against Monaco in Ligue 1 back in 2018. This victory marked PSG's 48th win since the beginning of the 2024-25 season, setting a new club record for most wins in a single season, surpassing their previous record of 47 from the 2015-16 season.

Upcoming Challenge Against Chelsea

Standing between PSG and Club World Cup success is Chelsea, who defeated Fluminense 2-0 in their semi-final clash. This upcoming final will be their first encounter since PSG triumphed over Chelsea with a 4-2 aggregate scoreline during the Champions League round of 16 in 2016. Luis Enrique is eager to conclude an unforgettable season with another trophy, stating: "We are going to try one more step against Chelsea... We are almost there, we want to make history and then take a holiday."

Luis Enrique believes that Dembele deserves every accolade due to his immense contribution to PSG's achievements this season. The team's success is largely attributed to Dembele's efforts on the field. As they prepare for their final showdown with Chelsea, PSG aims to cap off an extraordinary season with yet another triumph.
