PSG crushed Real Madrid in 24 minutes of fury and 66 of control and constant threat. They are rightful finalists of the Club World Cup after a 4-0 win that seemed even short for what was seen at the MetLife Stadium.
These were the protagonists, lucky and unlucky, of a very unbalanced semifinal.
Asencio has been showing since his debut that he has no place in Real Madrid's starting eleven and that he is even just making it into the rotation. The first PSG goal comes again after an improper mistake for the level the club aspires to.
Today he was seconded by Rüdiger with another clamorous oversight in the action of the second Parisian goal. This way it's impossible to compete.

He wasn't the only excellent midfielder today (Vitinha follows his own) but his double puts him in a preferential place.
He put on his best suit and even letting himself be carried away, he shone.

It's impressive how he's managing to maintain the competitive intensity of a team that could have lost their hunger after winning their long-awaited Champions League.
With Chelsea's permission, they're going for the title. And Xabi Alonso? Let's just say he has a lot of work ahead of him.
