PSG’s Historic Run: Enrique’s Side Outshines Arsenal, Claims Victory Over Four Premier League Giants
PSG cruised past Arsenal to reach their second-ever Champions League Finals on Wednesday. Winning the contest on a 3-1 aggregate, Luis Enrique’s side have looked like the favourites from the beginning. Moreover, with odds clearly in the French side’s favour, they are on track to lift their first-ever European trophy.
Manager Enrique, who took over PSG in 2023, has had significant success over the years. After winning the Ligue 1 without losing a game and with a stellar home record, a lot will be bet on the Parisians in Munich.
Following PSG’s win over Arsenal, Luis Enrique offers a pointed remark as no Premier League clubs reach the Champions League 2024/25 semifinals. Luis Enrique commented on PSG’s win over Arsenal, noting the absence of Premier League teams in the Champions League 2024/25 finals after all were eliminated.
Commenting on their opportunity to make history and the tough opponents in the final, Enrique said in his post-game interview:
“It’s going to be tough. But I think they have the same feeling. It’ll be interesting and difficult for both sides. They’re playing their second UCL Final in three years, but we have time to analyse Inter”
“We are the league farmers? Sometimes it’s nice. Everybody is talking about our team. We are a young side, and the mentality is great. I also want to congratulate my players”
Enrique, who had significant success at Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, has seen the bigger stages before. Talking about the standards set by the Spanish manager, PSG captain Marquinhos said, “The player who doesn’t give his all doesn’t play at PSG. Luis Enrique’s philosophy has brought us to this level.”
PSG will face Inter Milan in the UCL 2024/25 Finals later this month in Munich, Germany. After the heroics of Inter against FC Barcelona, Simone Inzaghi’s side makes this contest unpredictable to anyone’s liking. However, with the likes of Ousmane Dembele back and Milan’s defence, the matchup over the pitch would be as poised as ever.
The Parisians have seen the likes of Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi competing for the European trophy. The last time the French club played in the UCL finals was against Bayern Munich in 2020. With their attacking prowess failing to step up to the occasion, PSG will have a second go at the Champions League trophy.
