Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz appeared in press statements after qualifying for the final of the FIFA Club World Cup by defeating Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday evening at MetLife Stadium.

The player said in his remarks: "I think things couldn't be better; I am living one of the best moments of my career, if not the best ever. We have had an amazing season, and there is only one match left to complete this historic season."

He added: "I am very happy personally, but the most important thing is the collective performance. I believe we have had a wonderful season; we play beautiful football, and at the same time, the team shows that it wants to win all the titles, and there is only one match left."

He continued: "Winning the Ballon d'Or does not depend on me; I try to give my best. Whenever I am nominated for an important award like this, I am happy and proud to be among the nominees. But it is not an award I focus on too much; there are many great players in Europe. If I am nominated, I hope to win it, but I know it is very difficult. I do not think about it much; instead, I focus on the match on Sunday, as it is the most important, and we want to finish the season with this title."

Regarding Dembélé: "The coach always says that everyone should run and press. Ousmane Dembélé has given everything from the start, not just with goals, but with his great work and effort in pressing. We saw today that the first and second goals came as a result of his pressure, and he scored the second himself. He has had an amazing season, and for me, he should be among the nominees for the Ballon d'Or. We hope he continues to shine in the final on Sunday."

He concluded about Mbappé: "As we have always said, Kylian is a great player, and any team would wish to have him. We know how important he has been for Real Madrid, and for us as well in previous seasons. We know well his quality, effort, and goals, and he will always strive to give his all. We focused and worked without him, and I believe we have had an exceptional season. New players have joined and strengthened the team excellently, and that is the most important thing."
