With goals from Kvaratskhelia and Ashraf, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 in the third round of the 2024/25 Club World Cup Group B and advanced to the round of 16. Enrique said that the real game is just about to begin and that the team is full of motivation.

Paris Saint-Germain's corner kick in the 35th minute was cleared, and Vitinha, who was at the top of the penalty area, pushed the ball forward. The ball hit Kvaratskhelia and deflected into the net, helping Paris Saint-Germain take the lead 1-0.

In the 66th minute of the second half, Barkola received a long pass from Douai and passed it to Ashraf, who seized the opportunity of no one defending and shot the ball into the net, helping Paris Saint-Germain expand their lead to 2-0.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 at the Lumen Stadium and secured a ticket to the round of 16 with first place.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said after the game, "This is a competition that you must be ready to go to Atlanta, Philadelphia or even other cities at any time."

We want to go as far as possible in this tournament and I believe the players are ready. The real competition starts now and it will be very difficult. After every game, we have to see if the team has advanced, and we are full of motivation. ”

"The condition of the pitch is really important," Enrique said of the challenges of playing at the stadium. "I'm not saying this because we lost, we won, but I still want to point this out. The condition here is far worse than in Europe."

"The pitch is good, but the ball bounces like a rabbit on it. It used to be artificial turf, but now it's natural turf, but you still have to water it by hand because it's almost dry after 10 minutes."

Enrique also said, "This is an obvious problem. I am not making excuses, but it is a fact. We cannot play at an ideal level and the authorities must pay attention to this problem. Not only the game stadium, but also the training ground."

"I can't imagine having potholes on NBA courts. The courts we play on now make the ball look more like a rabbit than a ball. If there's criticism to be made, I think that's what needs to change."
