Luis Enrique Confident in PSG’s Ambitions After Securing UCL Final Spot

PSG’s Luis Enrique Addresses Critics with Champions League Final Qualification

Paris, April 2026 – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has secured a spot in the Champions League final, following a dramatic draw (1-1) in the second leg of the semi-final, after winning the first leg (5-4). PSG’s coach, Luis Enrique, used this achievement to confront his critics and underscore his team’s potential.

Confidence in the face of criticism

During the league phase, PSG faced numerous criticisms, but these did not shake the confidence of coach Luis Enrique. He consistently expressed belief in his squad’s ability to win another European title.

Enrique’s unwavering belief in PSG

«Do I believe we will retain our title? Absolutely,» Enrique stated. «We’ve aimed for this from the start. After the league phase, I told you I hadn’t seen a team better than us. At that time, no one believed me. Bayern Munich is on par with us, as they’ve shown this season, and Arsenal competes fiercely in all tournaments. But my belief in my team is so strong that I want us to be recognized,» he emphasized.

Upcoming challenge against Arsenal

The ultimate challenge for PSG will be against Arsenal, set to take place at the Ferenc-Puskás Stadium in Budapest, Hungary. The last encounter between these teams was in the previous season, where PSG came out victorious with scores of 2-1 and 1-0 in the Champions League semi-finals.
