An early 3-0 lead, a final 4-0, and even more goals could have been scored: Paris Saint-Germain confirmed its reputation as the best team in the world and faced Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has a lot of work ahead of him.

Paris Saint-Germain has spectacularly cemented its reputation as the new hegemon of world football. The team of Asturian coach Luis Enrique, who had defeated FC Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, humiliated Spanish record champions Real Madrid under the scorching East Rutherford sun on Wednesday, advancing to the Club World Cup final with an uncontested 4-0 victory. Awaiting them on Sunday will be Chelsea FC from London, who beat Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro the previous evening. So will US President Donald Trump, who has announced his intention to attend the final.
