Lucho’s Les Galactiques

That was the question Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique asked Claude Makelele (the former Real Madrid midfielder now working as a pundit for DAZN) following PSG’s 4-0 battering of Los Blancos in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final on Wednesday night.Makelele wanted to know the limits of Lucho’s team and whether they will ever get tired of playing.”Every coach’s desire is to see his players enjoying themselves on the pitch and that’s what the fans want to see. The season has been excellent in every way. We are a dominant team, a team that wants to have the ball at its feet. It’s difficult for our rivals to do the same,” concluded Luis Enrique.CWC: Saints humbled the overconfident King with a match full of agonyAnd he was totally on point there, because what Les Parisiens did to a star-studded Real Madrid was flirting with a brutal humiliation.The most decorated club in the world was on the thin edge of an unprecedented disaster and getting upset like never before. If it hadn’t been for Thibaut Courtois, who had several excellent saves, by halftime, it would probably have been 5-0 or 6-0. It seemed like PSG could literally score a goal when they wanted to and it didn’t look like the players were getting too tired. Instead of Galacticos 2.0, the world has seen a new aristocracy – Les Galactiques.Watching PSG is like watching Pep’s Barca! I can’t give them a higher compliment 👌🏻— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) July 9, 2025 A few minutes after the final whistle, another former player now pundit, Jamie Carragher, took to social media to show his praise for Luis Enrique’s side:”Watching PSG is like watching Pep’s Barca! I can’t give them a higher compliment,” wrote Carra on X.We don’t remember anyone transforming a team like Luis Enrique did with PSG. He waived all those overpaid stars, who for years suffocated the dressing room and dragged Les Parisiens from the company of the best, instead of bringing it closer to the same.Some would say that nowadays it is crazy to give up the best players, but Luis Enrique didn’t think so. He swept away Neymar, Mbappe, Verratti, Icardi, Simmons, Ugarte, Kolo Muani and others, and gave the keys of this young lot to football phoenix, Ousmane Dembele.Une nouvelle finale !!! 🔴🔵 #AllezParis pic.twitter.com/K1tEQRMMJD— Ousmane Dembélé (@dembouz) July 9, 2025 He is living a dream because who could have guessed that Dembele would be the top candidate for the Ballon d’Or today?! The Frenchman is playing not only the football of his life, but also a season to remember. With 37 goals and 17 assists, no player in Europe’s top five leagues has been as influential to his team’s game as the guy who once knew how to sabotage his career by playing video games late and eating unhealthy.”We used Dembele as a starter for the first time here. He is a player like no other,” explained Luis Enrique in his post-match interview. “He is still looking for his form, he is the best player of the season, far ahead of the others. He deserves to win everything, because he gave everything for this team. I wish I could give the whole team a trophy, but Dembele is someone who absolutely deserves the Ballon d’Or.”##NAJAVA_MECA_9012333##In the showdown, Les Galactiques will take on Chelsea, who could add another international trophy to a unique collection…”We have one more step ahead of us, against a team like Chelsea, who played well in the previous competition. We want to recover as much as we can and write new pages of history, and then rest.”FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 20251/2 finalsTuesdayFluminense – Chelsea 0-2 (0-1)/Joao Pedro 18, 56/WednesdayPSG – Real Madrid 4-0 (3-0)/Ruiz 6, 24, Dembele 9, Ramos 88/
