Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique has suggested that his team thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the Club World Cup semi-final tie on Wednesday because his players played a great great match against the Spainsh LaLiga giants.

According to Erinque, PSG did really good against the Los Blancos, adding that his players kept playing and fighting despite the “stifling heat”.

Four goals from Fabian Ruiz, Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos gave the Parisians the victory against Xabi Alonso’s side.

“It is a very special moment for us, Parisians, for all the supporters, the entire club,” Erinque told PSG TV.

“I think we did a really good job and played a great match. We are happy, we are in the final and it has been an incredible season. We want to win this [Club World Cup] final.

“Everyone saw the stifling heat, it is incredible to play in that. I think it affected both teams [PSG and Real Madrid], but we kept playing and fighting,” he said.

Enrique’s side will now face Chelsea in Sunday’s final at the MetLife Stadium.

At least three Real Madrid players would be leaving the club after the humiliating outing in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.

The players include Rodrigo, Lucas Vázquez and Luca Modric.

Rodrygo is no longer pleased with the way he is being treated at the club.

The Brazilian’s camp and the people in charge of transfer will discuss the future from next week, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Brazilian forward was an unused substitute in Real Madrid’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The decision will be up to Rodrygo either to stay or leave as Real Madrid are open to accept exit if the player decides to leave.

Although the immediate past manager, Carlo Ancelotti did not treat him any better, it appears the situation would be worse under Xabi Alonso.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, the Brazilian would be needing regular football in order to stand a chance of playing in the Brazil squad.

Rodrygo has not made Real Madrid starting XI at the Club World Cup for 5 consecutive games.

Asked why the player was left on the bench, Alonso said after the game, “I didn’t play Rodrygo because of a technical decision.

“We thought we would be better off with other players. It’s not about his future”.

Meanwhile, Spain International, Lucas Vázquez, will now leave Real Madrid after they crashed out of the FIFA Club World Cup.

He is set for next move as a free agent following the expiration of his deal at the club.

Lucas Vázquez is a legend of the club, having won every available title with the Spanish capital city club.

Luka Modric has already agreed a deal with AC Milan and is heading straight to Italy to join up with the Serie A side.

In a similar development, Inter Miami have made progress in talks with Atlético Madrid for Rodrigo de Paul.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano reports that negotiations are underway with a deal now advancing well.

He has already said yes to Inter Miami and the two clubs are also getting closer to an agreement.

Galatasaray have suffered a big blow in their attempt to secure Victor Osimhen’s signing on a permanent transfer from Napoli.

This comes after Napoli opted to to turn down Osimhen’s release clause amount of €75million.

This was revealed by Nigerian broadcast journalist, Onyebuchi Onokala, also known as Buchi Laba, in a post on X.

According to him, the Serie A champions rejected Galatasaray’s €75m third offer for the 26-year-old which was the official release clause of the player.

He tweeted in the early hours of Thursday morning: “Napoli officially turns down Galatasaray €75m 3rd offer for Victor Osimhen. The official Release clause Figure.”

Buchi Laba added that Napoli are frustrating the deal intentionally, adding that they want to push Osimhen to Saudi Arabia club, Al Hilal.

But Osimhen has already made it very clear that going to Al Hilal is not possible and he only wants to join Galatasaray on a permanent transfer.

The Super Eagles striker has also made it very clear to Napoli that he won’t report for the club’s pre-season starting this month as he doesn’t want to play for Antonio Conte’s side anymore.
