Luis Enrique: PSG will try to become even stronger

Paris Saint-Germain finished the 2024/25 season in a historic way — the team won the Champions League, claimed the French championship and won the national cup, achieving success in three major trophies in a single season.

The club’s head coach Luis Enrique, in his words to the press, openly told how the team went through tests last season, how it overcame difficulties, and what plans are set for the next season.

— In the first three or four rounds of the Champions League we were in a state as if walking on the edge. Although we deserved to collect more points, the situation did not go so easily. At some point, the players’ confidence decreased, and the mood was not very good either. But thanks to the loyalty and hard work of the players, everything changed. We paid attention to the fact that, although we created many chances, we could not turn them into goals. At that moment I thought: “Why don’t we try to find a player who plays best in the penalty area?”. After we took this approach, our statistics improved significantly, victories started to come one after another, and our confidence was restored. From then on, that same team began to dominate opponents without much difficulty.

He also recalled that before the French Cup and Champions League finals, psychological pressure was felt for two weeks:
— Our main goal was to enter the games calmly, without excessive emotions. Because we felt great support from the fans around us, and this also affected us psychologically. Anything beyond the limit can cause harm. We already knew we would play at 100% of our strength, but I told the players: “We will play at 105%, but not at 120%. Because excessive excitement can freeze you.” These finals were special matches that required a special mindset, and the players performed this task excellently.

Speaking about the new season, Luis Enrique emphasized that the team’s goals are even higher:
— Our goal in the new season is to make the team even stronger. In terms of trophies, this will of course be more difficult. But I believe we will improve in football terms — both in defense and in attack. We will fight for every trophy until the end. We believe we can win them all, and such success will be a great motivation for us to enter history again.

It should be noted that on August 13, PSG will play against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup. The match will take place at the Friuli Stadium in the Italian city of Udinese.
