Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique on Friday urged his team to round off the best season in the club’s history by winning the Club World Cup, but warned not to expect Sunday’s final against Chelsea to be a “simple formality”.<\/p>\n
“This is absolutely not going to be a simple formality,” the Spanish coach insisted, refusing to accept that PSG are necessarily overwhelming favorites to lift the trophy at MetLife Stadium despite their fearsome form.<\/p>\n
“I have analyzed Chelsea. They have a great squad. Enzo Maresca is doing a great job and I really like what he is doing,” Luis Enrique said. “They are a very complete team.”<\/p>\n
PSG can complete a remarkable clean sweep of trophies with victory, having won a French league and cup double before claiming the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history at the end of May.<\/p>\n
“We want to finish this historic season in the best possible way,” said the former Barcelona coach.<\/p>\n
“Now we must open the next chapter, win more major trophies. We want to make more history by winning on Sunday.”<\/p>\n
PSG were spellbinding at times in their 4-0 victory against Real Madrid in the semi-finals and also put four goals past Atletico Madrid and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami during the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
