David Beckham, owner of Inter Miami and a legendary figure in football, has reacted to PSG reaching the Champions League final. The former English star praised the work being done at the Parisian club, highlighting the dedication and approach of head coach Luis Enrique.
In an interview on CBS Sports, Beckham recalled a conversation he had with the PSG president. He mentioned that the club's leader spoke with admiration about how Luis Enrique worked from his very first year at the club.
“I spoke to the PSG president. He told me that in the first year, Luis Enrique almost slept at the training ground every night. He was always planning how he wanted the team to look, how PSG should play, which players should be in the squad, and in what direction the club should develop,” said Beckham.
According to him, the PSG president noted that he had rarely encountered such an approach to work as Luis Enrique's. This shows that the Spanish specialist has had a huge impact on the team not only tactically but also mentally and organizationally.
It can be said that a new era began at PSG after Luis Enrique arrived. While the team previously relied more on the skills of individual stars, the current squad shows more discipline, speed, collective action, and tactical balance. These changes are also reflected in their Champions League results.
PSG faced Germany's Bayern Munich in the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Over two legs, the Parisians managed to eliminate their strong opponent. The first match was a high-scoring 5-4 thriller, while the second leg ended in a 1-1 draw.
This clash was a true test of character for PSG. Defeating a team as experienced as Bayern Munich, with its rich Champions League history, is no easy feat. However, Luis Enrique's players withstood the pressure, maintained the necessary result, and secured their place in the final.
In the other semi-final pair, London's Arsenal overcame Atlético Madrid. The first leg ended 1-1, and in the second leg, the 'Gunners' won 1-0 to reach the final.
Thus, PSG and Arsenal will meet in the Champions League final. This final is expected to be very exciting for fans. On one side, the Parisian team, which has taken on a new identity under Luis Enrique, and on the other, Arsenal, which has been growing stronger year by year under Mikel Arteta.
The match will take place on May 30 at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. This game is sure to be one of the biggest events of the European football season, as both clubs have had a difficult path to the final and now face one final step for the trophy.
This final has special significance for PSG. For years, the Parisian club has made winning the Champions League its main goal. There have been huge investments, star-studded squads, and high hopes, but the team has often stumbled at the most critical moments. Now, under Luis Enrique, the club has another chance to make history.
David Beckham's words show that this success at PSG is no coincidence, but the result of hard work, a clear plan, and the coach's tireless pursuit of excellence. In football, 90 minutes on the pitch sometimes decide everything, but behind those 90 minutes lie months and even years of work.
Luis Enrique seems to have taken the Parisian club to a new level with this very aspect. He is trying to turn the team not just into a collection of names, but into a mechanism that fights for a single goal. This process is not easy, but the results are already beginning to show.
Now all attention is focused on the big final in Budapest. PSG is close to its dream once again. Arsenal is striving for a very important title in its history. Tactics, patience, character, and individual brilliance will be decisive on the pitch.
Fans are already in waiting mode. Such finals do not happen every year. Will PSG finally conquer the European throne, or will Arsenal take a historic trophy back to London? The big football night at the Puskás Aréna on May 30 will provide the answer.
