Enrique: We Deserved to Win, and We Want to Make History
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique appeared in a press statement after qualifying for the Club World Cup final by defeating Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday evening at MetLife Stadium.
The coach said: "I feel great. It's always difficult to play in such circumstances against Real Madrid. I am very happy."
Regarding the high pace of the game: "Yes, especially in these conditions, the weather was very hot. Both teams gave their all; it is a special moment for us, and we deserved to win."
On Dembélé reaching 35 goals this season: "This is the first time we can rely on him as a starter; he is a great player like others, but now he has found a steady rhythm. I believe he is the best player this season, by a clear margin. He deserves to win everything; he has given his all for the team."
On the final match: "We still have one step to go, against a great team like Chelsea, who played wonderfully in this tournament. We want to regain our energy and make history for this club, and then get some rest."
