PSG boss Luis Enrique talks up Champions League final ahead of Arsenal clash

Luis Enrique, the 56‑year‑old Spanish manager of Paris Saint‑Germain, addressed more than 150 journalists at the club’s Media Day in Poissy, Paris. He discussed the team’s preparation for the upcoming Champions League final against Arsenal, noting a long season, injury challenges and the lack of a domestic cup final this year. Enrique said he wants to avoid becoming an "old‑hand" coach and hopes to remain active beyond his sixties. He reflected on last year’s final, describing the pressure as both positive and overwhelming, and emphasized his ambition to keep winning at the highest level.

The final will be played in Budapest, and the PSG coach’s comments come as the French club seeks a second consecutive European title. Enrique highlighted the balanced squad and the importance of each player understanding his role, while also stressing his role as a communicator for the club’s hierarchy.
