PSG are ready for the most important challenge of the season. On the eve of the Champions League final against Arsenal, coach Luis Enrique appeared optimistic and motivated, emphasizing that his team is prepared to give their maximum in the match that could bring the club the most important European trophy.
The Spanish coach praised the opponent highly, calling Arsenal the best English team this season.
" Arsenal have been the best team in the Premier League this year, they deserved to win the Premier League. These two teams have similar game ideas, but they have followed different paths. They are a team that scores a lot of goals, while we are a team that defends very well ," Enrique declared.
The PSG coach said that the team had the necessary time to prepare and analyze the opponent in detail.
" We have tried to give the players a break at the end of the training sessions. We have had time to analyse our opponents and we know them very well. There are still areas where we can improve, both in attack and defence ," he said.
Enrique stressed that Champions League finals are rare opportunities and must be made the most of.
" You never know if you'll get back to a Champions League final, so we have to give our best ."
Recalling his team's European journey, he praised the performances against some strong opponents this season.
" Against Bayern is the match I enjoyed the most in the Champions League. In the matches against Chelsea, Monaco and Liverpool, we showed the team we are. We are in our second Champions League final and this is historic for us ."
As for the final, the Spanish coach does not see a clear favorite, emphasizing that details will make the difference.
" I don't think there are any favorites right now, but we have to make the most of the little details. There will be a lot of tension and we have to deal with it ."
Enrique also spoke about the pressure that comes with managing a club like PSG.
" If we lose three games in a row, there is absolute chaos. If we win continuously, this is considered normal. Over the last three seasons we have shown that we are a team that plays very good football and we have demonstrated consistency ."
In the end, the Parisian coach underlined the team's maximum motivation and gave positive news about the condition of two important starters.
" There is no greater motivation than playing in the Champions League final. We will see tomorrow who is better and who wins the title. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are fine. They can play tomorrow ," concluded Luis Enrique.
