After a routine win over Inter Miami in the round of 16, Luis Enrique’s side defeated the German giants 2-0 before ruthlessly dispatching the 15-time European champions on Wednesday.
With a fourth straight clean sheet, Les Parisiens capitalized twice on Real Madrid’s early errors to take a 2-0 lead, before Fabian Ruiz clinically netted his second to all but seal the match before halftime.
Substitute Goncalo Ramos added a late fourth, matching their opening scoreline against Real’s city rivals, Atletico Madrid.
Such dominance has become routine for the French champions, who recently thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final shortly after scoring three goals to clinch the Coupe de France.
Led by an inspirational manager who previously won the Club World Cup with Barcelona in 2015, PSG continue to earn praise for their goal-scoring prowess and relentless work ethic.
They now stand on the brink of completing a historic quadruple this season.
Chelsea received a boost ahead of Sunday’s final as Moises Caicedo returned to full training following an ankle injury.
However, Enzo Maresca may still be without several key players from his expensive squad.
Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia are both struggling with muscle injuries, Benoit Badiashile remains a doubt, and Noni Madueke is likely to miss out amid intensifying transfer rumors linking him with Arsenal.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Estevao are unavailable as they have yet to be registered.
Even so, Maresca can once again count on Levi Colwill and Liam Delap, both of whom missed the semifinal due to suspension.
Delap’s return adds further competition up front, though Joao Pedro is expected to retain his starting spot after scoring twice in his full debut.
Meanwhile, PSG are expected to field a nearly full-strength squad.
Luis Enrique will still be without defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, both suspended after red cards in the quarterfinal.
Lucas Beraldo is expected to replace Pacho and partner captain Marquinhos at the back, with PSG likely to stick with the same starting XI at MetLife Stadium.
