Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique singled out Ousmane Dembele for his performance in the 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday, Afrosport reports.
The 28-year-old assisted Fabian Ruiz for the first goal before netting the second goal, taking his tally for the season to 35 goals and 12 assists in what is his most productive campaign of his career.
PSG will now face Chelsea in the final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Sunday, and Enrique wants his team to make further history by winning the tournament.
“I’d like to highlight that this is the first game that I had my best player, Dembele, at his best,” The Spanish tactician said.
“We’d seen him very little throughout this tournament. This is a critical player, a unique player, a player that every fan wants to see… hopefully we can have him for the final.
“We are one game away to not just make history but to build to history of Paris, of a French club that might get every cup, every tournament. This is very significant for us, for our fans.”
TO THE FINAL!!! ❤️💙#FIFACWC pic.twitter.com/qcm0KRp8N3
